- week 8 is in the books for Oasis Church NFL! Can't believe how fast time really flies…
- attendance was over 100 this past week…amazing to see our average continue to hold up
- it was good to bounce back from a lower number the previous week
- for the record, our two lowest weeks since we launched have happened when we had staff pastors from Oasis Church South Florida visit us… the numbers don't lie!
- sorry rest-of-guys-on-staff-who-have-not visited us in Jax…. you are not allowed to join us for worship! Ha!
- (however, everyone else is more then welcome to stop by!!)
- don't know what it is about the weekends… they are always the windiest days of the week!
- why does that matter? Because we put out portable signs each week, getting the word out the we meet in the theater at River City Marketplace!
- I need the signs to keep standing!! Every week people visit as a result of seeing the signs…
- finished up our You Asked For It series this past week… answered the questions of who chose the books in the Bible (how was the decision arrived at) and is God a God of wrath or love?
- the second question is answered with a 'yes'!
- our kids area is going well… about 25 – 30% of any given Sunday is our Oasis Kidz program… how amazing is that??
- had two new people helping out with our first impressions team…awesome!
- doing my best to remember people's names…. people love it when you call them by name!
- it actually amazes them a little bit…that is a small thing to add to any first impression!
- although, the last two weeks, I have called people the wrong name… embarrassing but at least I am trying…
- guarantee it won't happen again for those two people… I will remember them for sure!
- afterward, we had our second "Pizza with the Partners" … a chance to meet 5 new families and have them over to meet the team and get to know them a little better…
- It is a great time to build further connections and learn who God is connecting with our church!
- picked up our free copier/ printer that was donated to Oasis Church… it is sitting in my garage office!
- So excited what God is doing and will do… especially the next two weeks! Really feel that God is going to do something HUGE!
- It will be the biggest Easter weekend EVER at Oasis Church North Florida… woohoo!
- This week is Palm Sunday and our first time observing communion together as a church… can't wait!
- gotta go… bye!
