Check it out here)We've also got some suprises in store on the music front... we're doing a choir... but not just any choir...a MASSIVE choir!  Shall we say the biggest choir in the history of Oakbrook?  I think we shall... so if you sing any, send Monty Sanders an email and get in the choir!  (monty@oakbrookchurch.com) It's an incredible way to get behind the scenes, meet some new people, serve, and the view from up on stage as our Church worships is just awesome!  Joel Larison, Monty, and Brandon are also working on a new original arrangement of a classic Christmas carol that you will love!And to top it all off, Travis Carpenter, video extrodinare is working on some video that will make you think we have a movie production company right here in Kokomo!  All that to say... DON'T MISS THIS EXPERIENCE!!!  This weekend, we'll be passing out invite cards... so start praying about those invitations... start dreaming about what it would be like for you to fill a WHOLE ROW with people that you personally invited!  At the end of the day, after all the lights are off, and the music stops, it's about PEOPLE FINDING GOD... let's pray this season that more people then ever will find the Grace, Hope, and Love that our Savior offers to everybody!Hope your season is off to an incredible start... see you guys this weekend at 9:30am in the cafe as Cameron and Karissa Sprinkle put on a mini-concert at the 30till!It's a pleasure doing Church with you!Jason Lee>blog home<  Weekend Experiences 2009-12-03T12:56:08+00:00
