Vision in Action . . . Connect!

Your Family for Life's Journey

The last 3 weeks I've talked about the process of our Vision being fulfilled . . . . . Connect, Navigate, Discover.

Now let me show you what it looks like beginning in a Connect post!


In the first 3 weeks of The 'Dock' and the awesome Creek Reps - we've had 26 new guests (or family units) on Sunday morning and 20 of them have made it to the Dock and spent time with our Creek Reps. That's 20 families that we've connected with and we've seen many of those connect with God in significant ways.

Now that excites me because that represents your friends that you are connecting with and inviting to Oso Creek! Our heart is that God will use us to connect those around us to the hope of Jesus!

"May your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere. May the nations praise You, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you!" Psalm 67:2-3

I've told the Creek Rep Team to hold on, because the next few weeks are going to be a wild ride . . . . Let's ALL be committed to bringing our friends and keeping them swamped!

Bring Em' On!



Our passion is to see people find the hope of Jesus! And this past Sunday was the culmination of several months of praying, planning and building (and praise God for Sam S. and Greg G. leading the building!) - as the 'The Dock' (see pic) opened and our Creek Rep Team went into business.

For those of you who don't know what's going on here, we're trying a new approach to intentionally connecting spiritually with every person on Sunday morning. You see we believe that no one is there by accident and we desperately want to connect them to Jesus!

To this end we've built a dock in the back of our worship area (Our vision statement is: Your Family for Life's Journey . . . and if you're going on a nautical journey you board at the dock). We give every first timer a Ticket as they come into worship and then invite them to bring that Ticket to the dock after Celebration. And at the dock, our awesome Creek Rep team greets them individually and spends a few minutes with them for the purpose of hearing their story, and asking God how we can connect them to His hope!

This past (First) week they already had incredible conversations and opportunities to pray with folks who need Jesus!

We want to continually ask God to show us creative ways to love people who live all around us, and those who you bring on Sunday morning. So be praying, loving, and bring em' on!

I can't wait to see what God does in the morning!
