Pastor's Points - March 2021
Dear Church Family,
I cannot believe that Easter is already right around the corner! In just a few weeks we will be celebrating the fact that we serve a risen Savior! Our special Easter dates are out, and I would encourage participation in these times together if possible. I know we have been through challenging times and it has been hard for people to gather, but with the cases of COVID falling off drastically, and with many people getting their shots it is more possible than ever for us to assemble.
Please mark these special dates down so you do not forget them.
April 2nd – Good Friday – “Night of Worship” - 6:30 pm
April 3rd – Family Easter Celebration (Including Easter Egg Hunt) – 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
April 4th – Easter Services – 8:00 am, 9:30 am, 11:00 am
Please look to intentionally invite your friends, neighbors, and family members to come to these events. Easter season is a great time to invite people to come to these types of events because studies have shown for years that people are more open to attend church events around Easter time. The night of worship is always moving and powerful, the family celebration/egg hunt is always fun and enjoyable, and our times of worship on Easter will clearly explain the hope of the Gospel to all who will come. Please be praying now who it is you can invite to come to these ministry events!!
I also want to take time in this article to thank our church family for being willing to minister to others. We have had a great response to people joining in with our “Oakhill Cares” initiative. There are more people than ever serving others by making phone calls, writing notes, visiting those who cannot come, and providing practical resources to those who are in need. Thank you for all you are doing! Let’s keep it up!!
Also let’s stay united in prayer together as we lift one another up and ask God to do things for others that only He can do!! I think of two young men that we have recently been praying for. This past Sunday they were both in worship together with their families!!! What a great joy it was to see them smiling, with their families, worshipping the God who has loved them so well. Wesley and Jackson, it was awesome to see you both in worship! You are loved!! I thank God for allowing me to pastor Oakhill! There is no other church that I would rather pastor!!
I love you and I love being your pastor,
