“From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION. THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, THE NEW HAS COME.” 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! MetroCamp2014 was an amazing experience! We felt God’s presence throughout the week. We enjoyed His creation, dove into His Word, and worshiped through song. Our focus at camp was becoming a new creation in Christ! It was my absolute pleasure to serve alongside the other adults who gave their time and energy. Thank you Paul and Courtney Steele and Jennifer Whisenhunt for being the example of leadership God has called you to. Getting to know your kids on a deeper level was the highlight of the week. I am in awe of the mighty works God is doing in our children and families at Oak Crest! Sunday School and Wednesday Night Tonight, we will resume our study of the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-20 by focusing on the shield of faith. In Sunday school this week, The Gospel Project is focusing on Luke 1:39-56, when Mary visited Elizabeth. Big Picture ?: Why did Elizabeth’s baby leap in the womb? Big Picture Answer: Elizabeth’s baby was happy because of Jesus! Christ Connection: God kept His promise to send a Savior. This was good news! Before Jesus was born, people sang songs and thanked God for His Son. Mary and Elizabeth worshiped God because of Jesus. Key Passage/Memory Verse: Luke 1:76. We need YOUR HELP in Children’s Ministry! OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE… *We will begin Children In Action in September and need numerous volunteers *Would you consider being a part of our Sunday School team? MARK YOU CALENDARS! CHILDEREN’S TEAM MEETING, JULY 22ND @ 7:00PM PROMOTION SUNDAY, AUGUST 3RD Please be in prayer about serving in children’s ministry at Oak Crest! In Christ, Stephenie
