My thoughts on another great Sunday…

• First off…how about them Colts? Unbelievable!! Thank you Bill Belichick-my vote for the games MVP J 

• I loved the opening song with the video of God’s amazing creation! The band was hot and I still can’t get over the dramatic effect of the new center screen. Ours guys made that happen for $200…awesome! My only regret is all the people who come late and missed it from start to finish. 

• The award for the hardest working guy in the church business yesterday…goes to Mr. Sam Burke! Way to go Sammy-bringing the heat Sunday morning and Sunday night at OSM! 

• Really enjoyed Sam’s teaching on creation/fall. If you haven’t realized it yet…Sam is a theologian. Again nice job Sam! 

• Also…really enjoyed the video at the end of the service! Written by Joel Larison (he does way more than lead worship!), performed by Katie Carpenter and filmed and edited by Travis Carpenter. Great job everybody! 

• Big thanks to all the volunteers and people who donated blood yesterday! Thanks for helping save lives. 

• Don’t forget the Lakeside Bookstore is now open on Mondays from 10-3pm through the holidays. Spread the word to your friends. So thankful for Linda McFatridge and Barb Brown for making this possible! They are volunteering their time. Stop by and see them!! 

• Keep praying for our Haiti team! So fun to connect with them via the Internet yesterday. I heard there were around 500 people at the first service last night. Haiti is a spiritually dark place so pray that the light of the Gospel will shine bright!! 

• Make plans to start your Thanksgiving week off at the Prayer and Worship night this Sunday @6pm in The Warehouse. Come with a heart full of gratitude. 

• Met several new people at Discover Oakbrook yesterday. Having new people visit Oakbrook never gets old! 

• The holiday season is a great time to invite your friends to church. This years Christmas services will take place on December 23/24. Trying a service on Christmas Eve this year. More details to come. Whatever you do don’t come alone.

And as always…Don’t Just Talk About It…(say it with me)…Be About It!

Love doing church with you guys, 

Mark
