Pastor’s Corner

GOOD MORNING CREEKERS!! God is so very good!!!! I’m PUMPED ABOUT THIS MORNING!!!! One of our missionaries Nate Rubright of Sojourn Ministries in the Boston area is here for you to meet. Take a moment & say hello to Nate. Remember, a percentage of every tithe & general offering giving goes to support our missionaries.

WORSHIP NIGHT IS TONIGHT::: 7:30 pm….OUTSIDE this time….we want to enjoy the presence of the Lord as we sit in a beautiful summer evening. We are going to worship as the sun goes down!!! Bring a chair, bring a fire pit, bring a heart of worship!!!!!

I know these next sections of the Pastor’s corner have been in the bulletin for the past couple of weeks:: but it’s exciting news & such important Sunday morning info!!!!

GOOD NEWS….we are on the schedule for the new parking lot to be done!!! It will be a 3-phase project and they are going to start with the ‘gravel/sand/caliche lot over near building x (the student center). The project will take a couple of weeks to complete. We are only a few weeks away from it beginning.

We have already begun receiving funds for the fundraised portion. Again, we are wanting to raise $40,000.00 of this expense for good stewardship & congregational participation (we ALL use the lot). We are asking for the equivalent of 200 families or individuals that would be willing to donate $200.00 (either a one-time contribution or spread it out over 6-7 months in smaller installments). Please pray about what you can contribute, please contribute what you can even if it’s not a full $200.00. We are a family & a team in this & collectively we can raise these funds! This should be after your faithful tithing & offerings.

We are so excited for this!!! We are also going to commit to routine maintenance on this new lot every 4-6 years to keep this investment lasting for a long time. You can email the elders as well if you have questions about this project at: osoelders@gmail.com.

Hey, at the end of EVERY service in Room M (the big room behind the coffee station) we have Oso 101. This is for those that are new & newer to Oso Creek Church and for those that are interested in taking the Next Steps in community (life groups, baptism, church membership, how & where to serve) as well as for anyone with questions about Oso Creek & its ministries. There will be a staff member & an elder ready to hang out with you for a few minutes and answer any questions that you might have.

For you new moms with babies, we have a dedicated ‘cry/nursing’ room at the back of the worship center that is available for you at any time. You can access this room from the sanctuary and the in the hallway off the lobby. There are recliners and a soft space to worship in if you need:: AND UPDATE— we now have sound for you to hear the service….there is a little volume knob behind the recliners on the side of the wall

Let’s grow in HIM together this morning. Let me know if you ever have questions or want to have a conversation about anything!!

God bless,

PG c[_]]

Did you know that we have ‘text to give’? You can text your tithe (first 10% of your income) & offering amounts to 361-273-2699 along with a word ‘give’ to be prompted how much you would like to give. You can also designate where you want your giving to go (general fund, certain ministries, etc.). You can also set up recurring gives by typing words like: weekly, biweekly, monthly after the dollar amount.
