Worship July 2016

Church Family,

I hope you have all had a great start to you’re summer!  It has been a great season of ministry here at Oakhill, and I have thoroughly enjoyed worshiping with you all.  We have seen God do great things, and we are looking forward to seeing what God does as we push forward towards the Fall!

I wanted to share one great memory from the last few months with you, as I see God moving throughout our Church.  A few weeks ago, our worship team here at Oakhill was leading the worship song, “Cornerstone”.   As we approached the last verse of the song, the worship team was able to back away from the microphones, and all across our congregation, a swell of voices lifted these words,

                 “When He shall come with trumpet sound,

                  O May I then, in Him, be found,

                  Dressed in His righteousness alone,

                  Faultless to stand before the throne.”


I remember standing onstage in that moment, and praying to God, “Thank you God that our Church loves to sing.”  As your Worship Pastor, it’s such a joy to join in with your voices Sunday after Sunday to proclaim God’s truth, and sing his praises.  Psalm 100:1-2 says, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.  Worship the Lord with gladness, come before Him with joyful songs!”  I want to encourage all of us, keep singing, keep worshipping, and let’s use our lives to point to the Glory of God.  Come and join us on Sunday, as we join our voices, to glorify God together.

In Christ,

Jared

Worship June 2016

Church Family,

This past month has been a great time in the of the Church!  We have    fellowshipped together, worshipped together, and grown together.  It was great to have our choir with us this past month, and we are looking forward to having the choir lead out much more in the future!  If you are interested in joining the choir, there is a place for you!  I encourage you to come and be a part, I believe God has big things in store for our choir through our worship ministry!

As for another part of our ministry, I want to focus our attention on our First Impressions Ministry.  Our first impressions ministry has provided such strength to our Church, and we are praying, thinking, and planning for what God has for our First Impressions Ministry as we move forward.  We would love to have you be a part of what God is doing through this ministry.  We firmly believe that the mission of the Church is to make disciples, and our First Impressions Ministry plays a huge role in the disciple making process.  I ask you to pray and consider being a part of this ministry, as we serve and make disciples together.

If you are interested in being a part of our First Impressions Ministry, there are a few ways you can get involved, primarily by coming to the training sessions which will be held Sunday, June 12th from 6-8pm, and Sunday, June 26th from 6-8pm.  We would love for you to pick one date, and come and be a part! If you want to come, please RSVP to me, at

God is moving in our Church, and in our people.  I am honored to be a part of what God is doing, and I am excited that I get to serve along side of all of you.  I really believe that God has great things ahead for our Church.  I encourage you to come and be apart, as we serve, grow, and
worship together.
