Tuesday Memo

Hi Five Oakers, Here are most of the comments from Communication Cards from the weekend:

// I love and use the Prayer Web.  Thanks for bringing it back!

// Family worship would be a great time to integrate past VBS music.  It would bring a level of comfort to the children, that their worship can be done by grownups, too.  Many of the songs are off the radio.  It wouldn’t be a stretch and the band could play it. J  Shouldn’t it be different, or is the point to show what “big” church is like?  [Good idea. It's an idea that is still being developed (i.e., what we want it to be) so your ideas are helpful. Thanks.]

// Great job worship team, sounded great! [Way to go, Libby and team!]

// Worship team, oh my awesomeness!  I loved great worship time!

// Thanks Tim!  Great message.  It was cold today!?  Thanks.  [I agree. Great teaching, Tim.]

// Bizarre to me, that only reference to Memorial Day is a ‘picnic’. [It wasn't the only reference but we spoke of it less than we have some years. Thanks for the feedback.]

// Great job Tim – explaining son/heir and how we come to that understanding and relationship.  Love this series.

Blessings to you, Pastor Henry

Monday Memo

Hi Five Oakers, Here are the comments and questions from the weekend Communication Cards:

// Just wanted to say how awesome it was today to hear “God’s Not Dead” the lead singer nailed it. I’m a lifelong music fanatic – and that gave me goose bumps – really amazing!  [I agree. So well done.]

// Thank you Henry for a great lesson!

// Henry – one of your best messages ever.

// A very freeing message today my small group lived this out for me this winter when I could only withdraw....

// Great acoustic and special effects behind Tim’s prayer. Very moving. Wonderful praise and music, again as usual.

// Nathan and Libby amazing job on “Oh God”. I absolutely loved it, such passion in your worship. Thank you. [So true!]

// Great message and worship! Praise God!

// Awesome, appropriate, application. Triple “A: message today. Thank you.

// Could we consider offering the “Story of God” for families – or for children – middle school? [We may be offering it every year for pre-teens starting next year, but offering it for families is a great idea. It will need to be developed.]
