Oasis


Oasis, our new 6-week Wednesday night offering, started with a bang last night. We had over 100 folks (over double our usual Wednesday participation) gather at 6:00 to eat together... enjoy fellowship... share some worship time... and take part in one of several discussion groups. The food was good (thanks to Georgia, Darlene, and Dovie), the worship was lively, the group discussions were engaging, and the fellowship was rich. There are a few details we'll try to tweak for next week, but it was a good evening. We wrapped up by 7:15 so families with kids could get home. The praise team practiced at 7:30, and we had a good rehearsal. Most of the other folks stood around and talked for 15 or 20 minutes before heading home. It was a great evening... can't wait until next week!

Today was an eventful day. We got a call yesterday that our refinance papers were ready to sign, so we took care of that this morning. On the way to the title company we got a call that our car (see Feb 15 post) was finished. It's hard to imagine that a rat did over $1500 damage. Thank goodness for insurance!! After work this evening we trekked over to Walnut Creek to get it. On the way home, we stopped for a relaxing and enjoyable bite to eat. That, along with a 6 mile run (beautiful day today), means I'll sleep well tonight.... think I'll head that direction. Good night!!

I was really encouraged by the turnout Wednesday night. I'm looking forward to seeing what next Wednesday brings.
