From the Heart of the Pastor- Fall Invitation to Wednesday Night

​We are officially in the season of fall.  I know the 90 degree temperatures may not feel like fall, but cooler weather should not be far away.  Fall is my favorite season, with winter a close second.  In the fall, we are back into normal routines after the chaotic schedules of summer.  It is a perfect time to start fresh especially when it comes to worship.         
            Fall is a great time to re-evaluate what is truly important.  I want to invite you to our mid-week worship and activities at Oak Crest.  There are so many things to do and places to go, but don’t neglect the most important thing.  We have a unique opportunity in the middle of the week to pray, learn, and worship.  Students and children are studying the Word in-depth.  There are activities for everyone.  Would you consider gathering with us on Wednesday nights?  Our Prayer Meeting and Bible Study begins at 7:00pm.  The time we spend together on Wednesday nights is a time of recharging and renewal.  I am so thankful God has granted us the privilege of feasting on his Word in the middle of the week.  Don’t wait for Sunday to worship with other believers at Oak Crest.  Make Wednesday night worship a priority in your life.
            I am also excited to announce the re-launch of our Wednesday Night Meal.  This fall, our student ministry will be hosting the meal at 6:00pm Wednesday evenings beginning on October 18.  I hope you will consider being a part of this effort, not only for the sake of the students’ fundraising, but also for the invaluable fellowship we will share each week.  If you are interested in helping in this effort please contact Sara Craig for more details.
            I don’t know about you, but by the time Wednesday rolls around a lot of pressures and stresses from the week have started to pile up.  This fall will be an opportunity to not have to cook as well as an opportunity to be nourished by physical food and the food of the Word of God.  It is a blessing to come together corporately to God’s Word for a boost of certainty.  We gather every Wednesday.  Would you consider joining us?
 
           
In Christ,
