E-News from Tom: 03/19/10

Hello E-News Friends,

Can it get any better! March Madness, the start of spring, grilled burgers on the barbecue, Kathy giving me a 30-minute backrub. (Sorry I fell asleep and was dreaming on that last one.) Anyway I like this time of the year! I know many of you do as well. So can it get any better?

Yes! How about a new series at church starting this Sunday titled, “Thy God…How We Gonna Get There?” How are we gonna value things the ways Jesus does? How are we gonna have courage like Jesus when the odds seem stacked against us? How are we gonna forgive when the person who hurt us is such a_____? (You fill in the blank.) How are we gonna impact our families like Jesus did his?

Here is a key principle from this series: “When we see as God sees, we will do as God says.” Wow! I think this series is gonna help a lot of us get there.

So can it still get any better? Yes! Concert Friday (March 26) at the OBC. Doors open at 6:30. Small Groups throughout the week and the Toolbox on Wednesday.

Spring is in the air; I hope this is a sweet time of the year for you. Remember this is St. Louis so the weather will still go through its usual temperature swings, but today is a one of those nice ones! Hope to see you Sunday as we worship the Creator of Heaven and Earth! (And the Church!)

In His Grace,
Tom
