Here's a little overview of some of the things that are going on with the Oasis church in the weeks/months ahead. Click here if you would like to open a print version of this post.
January 7: Brainstorm Meeting for Oasis Youth Ministry >>> This Sunday a handful of people will be meeting to brainstorm and begin a "roundtable" discussion about youth ministry (Middle School & High School ages) in Oasis. I mention this to you here so you will join us in prayer. Our desire is to seek God's wisdom for how we can be most faithful to serving the teenagers in our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
January 14: Sign-up for Chris Tomlin Concert >>> We will be ordering tickets on January 15 for this concert, which is on February 13 in Columbus (Veterans Memorial Auditorium). Tickets are $25 per person, and you may pay for them any time before February 13.
January 21: Oasis Men's Fight Club, Round 2 >>> Meeting time: 6-8pm. Location: TBA. We will begin an expository study on the Song of Solomon & Reforming Male Sexuality. Meetings will be open to all men, married and unmarried. Teenage young men are welcome to attend with their fathers. Be advised that the discussions, while not crass or inappropriate, will most certainly be candid and honest. We will speak openly about all issues of human sexuality from a God-centered, Christ-honoring, biblical perspective.
January 27: Oasis Elders in Training Breakfast >>> We currently have four men who are pouring their hearts, minds, and souls into the Scriptures and into one another, and seeking wisdom about how God desires for His church in a given locality to be led. These men are Chris Stewart, Bill Lawless, Mike Stewart, and Chad Dodson. They will be meeting monthly during 2007 in order to train and prepare for service to Oasis through biblical eldership. We would appreciate your prayers, as this is a vitally important step for the health of our church.
January 31: Membership Covenant at Stewart's House Church >>> At the January 31, Wednesday evening house church meeting at Mike and Sharon's Chris will offer the final session of The Gospel & Oasis 101, which wil linclude an opportunity to sign a membership covenant with Oasis Christian Fellowship. NOTE: This same opportunity will be offered the very next Wednesday, February 7, at the house church that meets at Jim and Julie Durst's. If you are interested in covenanting with Oasis Christian Fellowship but have not yet attended The Gospel & Oasis 101, all sessions will again be offered in another venue beginning in March. Location and times for those TBA.
February 13: Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, & Louie Giglio concert >>> See above (January 14) for ticket details.
As we progress through the coming weeks there may be more things to add to the calendar, but this should give you a pretty good starting place for 2007. Soon I will be posting a working schedule for our Sunday preaching studies and Wednesday house church discussions. Have a great first week of 2007!
I can't wait to see Chris Tomlin.
