Snapshots don't tell the whole story. But they do provide a brief picture where certain things are seen from a particular angle. God is blessing our church and using our church for His Kingdom work. Here are few snapshots pictures of just the month of August this year.
We saw a 20 % increase in the number of people we had participated in worship compared to last August.
Financially through the tithes and offerings our church we are nearly $26,000 ahead of where we were through August last year. That is an 18% increase.
We have seen our Creekside apartments and nursing home ministries grow. We had 4 baptisms at Creekside in the month of August and new families coming to our worship service.
God is entrusting us with more. He is inviting us to keep trusting Him. When when please Him doing His ministry, His way, He blesses us in return.
What is ahead? Church planting partnership. Marking room for more in our worship services. More disciple making groups. More fellowship groups so that we are taking care of one another's needs.
Forward to what is next! There will be challenges. There will be the continual need for evaluation and reprioritizing as we get sharper at what we do. There will be mistakes along the way as we try new creative things. And there will certainly be surprised that we could not have anticipated.
Praise the Lord for the open door of ministry God is giving to FBC Oakwood!
It is a joy to lead the incredible team. I love working with each of you. Great days ahead together.
