Weekend Highlights

I wanted to take a few minutes of your time so that I might be able to share my excitement about some recent events at the Oakfield and Tabor churches.

Our first Bible study was hosted at Tabor UMC this past Wednesday. Nine of us talked about two scripture lessons that were to be a part of that Sunday's service. It was wonderful to hear different people's interpretations of God's Word. I hope that energy continues as we host the next study at the Oakfield UMC at 7:00PM this Wednesday.

DuWayne Loecher spoke at the Oakfield church on Saturday evening. He shared his experience of having a sudden cardiac arrest incident, one that left him clinically dead for 20-30 minutes. He described his trip to heaven. It was a moving experience! We took an offering and donated almost $100 to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association. We had 34 folks that joined for this event.

Last night, we held our first evening worship service at Oakfield UMC. To be honest, I had no idea how many people might show up. The word is slowly getting out there that we are taking on this endeavor. By a few minutes after 7:00PM we had 10 adults and three children at our worship service. What a blessing! We sang together, prayer together, studied scripture together...and we gave each other Communion. I hope those in attendance had a meaningful experience. We had three youth in attendance, which was also very exciting. I hope this service grows. This Sunday, evening worship will be at Tabor UMC. The plan for these services is to have them at Tabor on the 1st and 3rd Sundays and at Oakfield on the 2nd and 4th Sundays.
