Pastor’s Corner

Hey Creekers…I missed you all last week. I got the privilege of preaching at my dad’s church on the east side of Indianapolis while being there to attend my nephew’s wedding. This is the church that I grew up in, so I was able to re-connect with some old friends. Thankyou Paul Volbrecht, who is one of our elders, for speaking in the services last week in my absence.

guys, I am EXCITED for today!! It’s a different type of Sunday morning at Oso because it is our annual LEVEL UP SUNDAY! This is the day when we promote our children & youth to their new classes on Sunday morning AS WELL showcasing our youth and children’s ministries. Our youth group is taking active parts of our Sunday morning experience by serving in various ministry stations as well as leading us in a song of worship. The Oso Kids will be coming in to the main worship center to lead us in 2 fast paced and fun songs as well. We will then gather around all of our children, youth, students, and those that work in schools to pray over them & bless them in Jesus’ name. WOW…it’s going to be exciting.

Our Men & Women Bible studies will be starting up again TOMORROW NIGHT (on Meghan’s BIRTHDAY!!!). Meghan will be teaching the women in the Book of Jeremiah (Journey of Hope) and the men’s study will be led by a different Creeker exploring the Book of Judges and learning from some of Israel’s judges during a very inconsistent time in their history. I sure hope that you can make one or all of the evenings of this study. We are promoting Leveling Up with our children & youth…HEY ADULTS…Monday night Bible studies are great ways for us to LEVEL UP as adults as well. The fun starts at 6:30 pm.

The Elders are currently taking bids to connect our front parking lot to the new entrance/exit that we have on Yorktown. You can exit that way now IF you feel comfortable driving on gravel/dirt. I know that our current entrance/exit gets pretty backed up after the first service, so hopefully this new exit can relieve some of the congestion.

Remember, Oso Creek is a place where we are investing in people, creating community, and making disciples. It’s a place to believe, belong, & become while we grow in Jesus, grow in community, & stay on mission for Him!!!!

UPCOMING BIG EVENT!!! AUGUST 21st we will be doing our annual beach baptisms again. THIS IS A HUGE NIGHT and we want the entire church family to come out & celebrate new life in Christ. Bring chairs, bring food, bring music, bring yourself. Please let me know if you, a family member, or even someone you know that would like to join in the baptisms & we will get you scheduled in.

Let’s enjoy the freedom that Christ brings…..He is the Lord & Savior

God bless you all…….He is here this morning…let’s worship Him! FILL US LORD WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT
