Well, after about a 4 month process, the power company has installed the lights at the church campus!
It’s already been said that our campus looks like a baseball field!
We want folks to know we are here and for those that are on campus after dark, we want to ensure that they are as safe as possible!
God is Good!!!

Our Worship Service tomorrow will begin at 10:30am and will be a joint effort between our English and Hispanic Congregations!

HE IS RISEN!!!!

If things go as planned, we will have a 60-voice YOUTH CHOIR with us for a Saturday night event in May!
I wonder if we can even fit 60 folks on stage – but we will try!
It may be possible for them to stay over and be with us the very next day for Sunday AM Worship!
Wow, I hope they can – I’m not sure where we would put them – but hey – we will figure it out!
I’ll keep you updated!

Easter Sunday will be a very special time for Ocoee COG!!!
First of all, we will have a combined worship service (starting at 10:30am) that will include our English and Hispanic congregations!
Our youth group (L.I.G.H.T. Youth Ministeries) has been preparing a drama that they will present on Sunday.
We are anticipating a large crowd and have plans to use every possible inch of the sanctuary to ensure everyone has a place to sit!
I’m thankful for Jesus Christ and we plan to CELEBRATE His Resurrection this Sunday!
*Remember, worship will begin at 10:30am!
C U There!

Well, after a very long process – almost 4 months – Progress Energy trucks arrived on campus today to begin the process of installing our new security lighting.
When the process is complete, the following will be done:
-installation of 3 new power poles
-re-location of one existing power pole
-installing of 7 – 400 HPS Lights
-upgrading one light from 100 HPS to 250 HPS
Finally, we will have enough lighting in the main parking lot, the back parking lot along with some much needed light at the new property.
I’m trusting that the power company will complete the project tomorrow!
In addition to the added safety this will provide for us, when folks drive by Ocoee COG (day or night) I want them to know that we are here and moving forward for Jesus!
God Bless!

Yesterday afternoon, my youngest daughter (Meariah, age 3) started complaining with pain in her lower right side.
She had been sick since Friday afternoon, however, the sharp pain in her right side concerned us very much.
We ended up at the ER and after 5 hours we headed back home.
Meariah was very de-hydrated and her blood sugar was very low.
I did not attend service last night, as I felt it was my place to be ‘daddy’ to my daughter – sometimes a pastor’s family needs daddy!
I’m thankful for the touch of God in Meariah’s life!
Thank you to EVERYONE who called to check on us.
A very special THANK YOU to those that ensured the PM Service was the very best!!!!
In an effort not to miss anyone, I’m not going to call names but YOU KNOW who you are!!!!! God Bless each of you!!!!

This past Sunday (March 29) ended our Talent Fund Raising Campaign (see earlier posts for more details).
Over the past 9 weeks, folks have been very busy using their talents for the Lord and this past Sunday the talents were returned with their increase.
The initial seed was almost $2,000 and the total amount returned on Miracle Sunday was $9,200 – an increase of $7,200.
I’m thankful for what God is doing at Ocoee Church of God!
Come be with us – I’m sure God will bless you too!
Thanks!

I’m pleased to announce via this blog that our guest speaker for Homecoming 2009 will be our State Administrative Bishop, Dr. J. Martin Taylor.
Homecoming 2009 will be on Sunday, October 4!
Due to the number of folks that we are anticipating, we are looking at the option of having our lunch moved to an off site location.
As we near Homecoming 2009, I’m sure this blog will offer you more details!
