Monday morning recap for Sunday – May 17

Friday Favorites, setlists
Yesterday's sermon focus was on the 2nd -3rd of our new mission statement "To Exalt Christ by equipping every member to seek grace from God, share grace in community, and show grace to all."Our Youth Choir opened the service with Lifesong. Let me say this - There's too many kids that want to be musicians that aren't participating in the things that make you into a musician. When I was 16, I wanted to be just like Elton John or Billy Joel . . . but I was marching in the band, singing in the choir, playing bass in the…

Easter Sunday Recap for Oak Mountain

Friday Favorites, setlists
We had a great Sunday at Oak Mountain. The thought that I've had preceding yesterday was this: What if we had the same fervor and zeal about Christ's resurrection the other 51 Sundays of the year!
