What a great start to the New Year this past Sunday as we Baptized 5 people! It was such an awesome day! My message was called, “The Year in Review,” as we took a look back at 2014. This Sunday, my message is entitled, “The Year Ahead.” We’re going to talk about what God has in store for us in 2015. Don’t miss it!
Oh Coastal, we are soooo close to starting the construction of our new building! In fact, I’m told that silt fencing, tree protection, the retention pond, and the construction entrance will all begin next week. Here’s what that practically means for all of us: we will temporarily lose all of the parking in the field and on that side of our campus. So here’s what I need you to do. Start parking in the old Oakland Elementary School parking lot directly across the street from our field. We want to save our parking at the first entrance side for guests and new people. I am specically asking that NO VOLUNTEERS park on that first entrance side. We all need to get healthy in 2015, so the extra steps will do us good!
