Hello, E-News Friends:
Here is a quick statistic for you. Last week our attendance was 876. On the same Sunday three years ago it was 229. Up 282%! If we would keep up the same pace for the next three years our attendance in 2012 would be 2,470. Wow!
I am reminded of a verse found in the Book of Acts in the Bible. It describes the first church. We call it the Acts 2 Church because it is described in Acts 2:42-47. The verse is the last one, “And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
I know God has thought up, built up and driven Oak Bridge. I never forget the fact this local expression of His Body is His idea. I am just thankful God has allowed me to be a part of it, just as He has allowed you to be a part of it. That is why I am so excited about
the OB (Oak Bridge) Center. It will be fun to see how God uses this facility “to add to the number daily those who are being saved.”
God does love our families, our friends, our community, and us. I believe God will use the OB Center to show many His love as we continue to follow His Son in action and faith.
I’m looking forward to meeting 1500 or so new faces over the next few years, and feeling bad because I can’t remember many of their names. But I know God knows their names.
Exciting time to be around OB! As we keep following the King!
In His grace and truth,
Tom
