Happy Easter!  We had a tremendous morning of worship yesterday.  Lots of visitors.  Lots of Easter pics filling up the Facebook and Instagram feeds.  you know, the thing is - He is risen, and so we get to/ should celebrate like that every Sunday… a HUGE thanks to all the Oak Mountain folks that went out of their way to come to the early service - freeing up seats for visitors at the 10:45 service.We opened yesterday with Joyful.After our call to worship we sang Let God Arise, Everlasting God, Christ the Lord is Risen Today, Stronger, and In Christ…

No regular recap for this Monday morning.  Yesterday was our Palm Sunday worship service Come Back Soon.We had been working towards this date, and Sunday morning, since mid-January.  It involved our worship choir of about 90 voices, band, tech teams, and video.  It lasts the entire hour of worship - and this year, was all about Heaven.Included in the hour was Andrew Peterson's Come Back Soon.  Great track.  You should check it out if you're not familiar with it!Holy Week continues at Oak Mountain with our 10AM Maundy Thursday service with our school, our 7AM Good Friday service, and then…

I know, it's Thursday.  My wife and I decided to pack the boys up on Sunday after church and take them to Disney for a couple days.  We're Disney FREAKS.  I'm convinced that Disney has the best customer service in the industry.  It's no wonder that countless companies and organizations pay thousands to send employees and teams to the Disney Institute to learn strategies and processes.  They're remarkable.As with every trip - i try to observe something different, and then ask myself how it can apply to the church.  This trip was no different.  We were on the monorail -…

We're already mid-way through March.  Palm Sunday is right around the corner, and then we'll be into our summer vacations, and starting to talk about our Fall Ministry Launch.  Time flies!If you're wanting to get involved with the worship ministry here at Oak Mountain - there's never been a better time to get plugged in.  We're always looking for new faces to participate in choir, play an instruments in our bands, or serve in the technical ministry.  You can email me for more info at jsears [at] ompc [dot] org.We opened yesterday with Here For You.After our call to worship…

Time change Sunday was yesterday - always funny to see those that come in an hour late for worship, forgetting to set their clocks… Bob was back in the pulpit yesterday continuing his series The Old Testament Sings Amazing Grace.We opened our worship set with a new (to Oak Mountain) song called Here For You.  You can find it on the new passion album - and I'm pretty sure it's on a Tomlin album somewhere, but the recording I like is by Matt Redman.After our call to worship we sang Let Us Return, Search Me, There is a Fountain, and…
