Wednesday Memo

Hi Five Oakers,

I have three things to share with you.

#1- Jerry Meras and his Miles4Meals team departed this morning. They'll drive straight through to CA and take off Saturday morning on their bikes. Twenty-one days, a hundred miles per day all the way back to MN! Pray for them. They're being hosted each night by churches all along the way. And they are raising money for Feed My Starving Children to be packed at our event in March. Follow them on Instamap and contribute here.

Here's the team this morning and the trailer with the bikes firmly strapped in.

#2- Check out the Bible HIStory Game for families put out by Rob Rinow of Visionary Family. Many of you attended the Visionary Parenting Conference led by Rob, and we're offering the Visionary Marriage Conference this fall.

#3- Here's a video of Gabby Douglas being interviewed by her pastor (EFree Church in Des Moines). I know the pastor from a yearly round-table meeting I attend in CA. 

God bless you all, Pastor Henry

Tuesday Memo

Hi Five Oakers,

I missed being with you last weekend. We took a trip to visit our son Henry Michael in Louisville and my cousin Henry and his family in the Chicago area. We were at Sojourn Church in Louiville (Midtown Campus) and loved it, but it looks like we missed a great service here. Check out the readings, songs and some pictures from the service here.

Here are your comments from the weekend.

  • The worship was a true blessing today!  Hosanna in the highest. 
  • Hooray!  My folks are here!  Neither know Jesus!
  • Thank you worship team!  Thank you Tim! We appreciate the teaching you provided and the truth you shared. 
  • Love the discipleship emphasis.  Best the worship team has ever sounded!  Amazing message of hope and mercy. 
  • Great message Tim and great job worship team!
  • Nice job Tim – very clear and effective.  Justin and music team A+++ 
  • YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS – AMEN!!!!  Powerful worship set this week.  Helped me to open my heart to God’s love, truth and healing.
  • Awesome music this morning! 
  • Bring back “Sheryl Crow” with the guitar!  Wow! Love her voice!
  • First song after service was way too loud! 
  • Great prayer of confession – nice tie in to message.  Wonderful blessings of all the voices used in worship.  Great talent and gifts!

God bless you, Pastor Henry
