Bring them tonight. At Mike and Sharon Stewart's house church meeting I will be fielding all your questions about the Oasis membership covenant. I will also bring with me copies of notes from any sessions you may have missed.
This will be an important time for anyone who desires to know more about what this membership covenant thing is all about. NOTE: It will not be recorded. There will be no audio from this session.
Next Wednesday, February 7, I will do the same thing at the Durst house church.
I had a great time this evening in conversation with those who gathered at the Stewart house church. I was encouraged by your desire to be certain about the truth of the Word. It was also apparent to me that many of you have been diligently studying these things on your own time. I could see that God has been confirming them in your heart and mind. I am excited for your growth and your maturity.
As I mentioned tonight, I am considering the idea of doing tonight's study at our Sunday gathering. Pray for me about that. Let me know if you think it would be beneficial. I would like your input.
The challenge of "The Gospel & Oasis 101" class has been a very public challenge, and the opportunity to receive the course is only going to increase (with the internet audio, CD audio, the written material, and future class scheduling). So my thinking is perhaps it will get more people to consider it if there is some significant time given to talking about the membership covenant on Sunday morning.
Your thoughts?

Your 1st paragraph, in your comment, Chris, is so encouraging! I know that this was your intention. Well, just so you know, you accomplished your purpose. You're such a great pastor, brother. Thanks for loving God's precious sheep and lambs.

Chris,
The discussion and the materials provided answered a lot of my questions at Wednesday night's study. I am reading, studying and praying with the information provided to us. I think it would be great to hear the information again this Sunday! I usually get something new out of the same lesson the second time around, don't you?
I'll be praying for you and thank God for providing your gift of teaching, along with the talented men that helped provide confirmation in your research (along with God) in the material that is in Oasis 101.
God Bless You
Sherrie
