Beginning at 12 noon on Monday through 12 noon on Wednesday, I get to participate in the annual Pastors Covenant retreat near Kissimmee, FL.
What a blessing the PCG has been to me since joining in January 2009!
I look forward to what the 09-10 term has for us!!

To All:
What a weekend we had – Dr. Paul Cushman preached Sunday AM and he did a fantastic job!!!!
What great people he and his wife are – I pray that they have a great vacation in Maine!!!!
Attendance was great! Worship was awesome!
Sunday night the presence of God was so real – Pastor got a good ‘Holy Ghost’ touch during praise and worship!!!!
During the service, I presented to the church an update after our called conference on Thursday night!
God was with me as I preached – He is so good!!!
LIGHT Christian Academy was open after service for an open house event – what a blessing this ministry is for our church!!
I’m excited about what God is doing at our church!!!
Pastor Thomas
To All:
Tonight, our church was in conference to discuss what we are going to do to reach the harvest for Jesus Christ.
Our worship attendance has been OUTSTANDING for the last year; but we must ‘tweak’ a few things to make room for more.
Whatever the outcome – I know God will be pleased with the end results!
The attendance for the conference tonight was OUTSTANDING!!!!!
I’m confident that the folks of Ocoee COG want to reach the world for Jesus!!!
I ask that you continue to pray for me, my family and our local church.
We want to accomplish what God wants us to do!
Until next Time!
Pastor Thomas
To All:
The Symposium on the Great Commision was OUTSTANDING!!!
If I had any doubt that I need to ‘reach the harvest’ it was confirmed during the last two days.
On Thursday of this week, our church will meet to discuss options that will help with the space issues that we have been experiencing over the last 12 months – good problem – however – the fix is easier said than done!
Pray that God will give us direction!
As a reminder to our church folks – please don’t forget to spend some time in prayer and fasting between now and Thursday night!
See you on Wednesday evening!!!
Pastor Thomas
To All:
Tonight I had the opportunity to attend a service/session on the Great Commission.
Our Presiding Bishop, Dr. Raymond Culpepper shared a timely message/presentation with us.
I must say – if I had any doubt as to where God was leading our local church – it was all confirmed tonight.
Ocoee COG will move to another level of ministry in the coming days!
Will it require work? Yes
Will there be some that may not understand? Yes
However, we must continue to move forward with the call that God has placed within us!!!
Until Then….
Pastor Thomas

Well, it’s been busy around here.
The FIREPROOF YOUR MARRIAGE workshop was EXCELLENT on Tuesday.
The 12 of us had a wonderful time!!!!
Church was great on Wednesday – 88 in attendance (11 on Tuesday for Hispanic Bible Study)!!!
Today was very busy – great prayer time this morning – then had errands to run!
Getting ready for a big meeting next week!
Excited about Sunday – Pastor David Pleasant, Sr will be with us.
Looks like we have everything ironed out in order to launch a children’s church service for the 2pm Hispanic Services on Sundays – we will start the Sunday after Homecoming!
School is still going great – students are really performing well!
Men’s Bible Study was tonight – I popped in for just a few minutes – the guys in attendance seemed to be having a great time! I’m glad – men need that at times!!!
Going to bed – I have seen mid-night way to many times this week!!!
Pastor Thomas
