Please be praying for the Willix family in the loss of Luann’s father on Tuesday afternoon. Everett Kidwell passed away at the age of 80. There will be a memorial service at the Pembroke Pines campus on Saturday, August 23, at 11am. This family has been part of our church for nearly a year and has played a vital role in our change over to Oasis Church. I am honored to work with them and it is our privilege as Oasis Church to walk through this time with them.
In other updates, this past Sunday went well as we began a new series called "True Colors". We are looking at the colors of our logo and seeing how each color can be conncted to our 3 core values. For instance, we looked at the green in the logo and attached that to our value of "growing" community. We talked about the fact that even though our campus is pretty young, we want the statement "nobody stands alone’ to be true one day at our church. Community is vital for weathering the storms as well as celebrating and enjoying the calm days of life. This week, we will looking at the value of mission…can you guess which color we will use??
And lastly, a chance to make a difference at NoMi. Somehow, the video games that are in our elementary KidsWorld room were stolen (games, consoles, controllers, etc…) over the weekend. While we are ticked at this, we are glad no one got hurt…in fact, we hope whoever took the stuff will come back and follow Jesus at some point at Oasis Church! However, we still want to have the best, most inviting experience for our elementary…and having video games really makes first-time kids feel welcome and gives them a chance to get connected almost immediately. If you have the next gen of game consoles (PS3, Wii, and 360) and still have the old gen of consoles (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube) would you consider donating one of them? Please bring everything that goes with it…cords, system, games, and controllers. I am bringing my PS2 this week…how bout you? You can either bring it to NoMi on Sunday or you can drop it off at the church office in Pines M-F from 9a -5pm… thanks ahead of time!
