Easter at Village Oaks
We want to let everyone know about two neat things that happened at Village Oaks this past weekend.
First, the community came together! This is a big deal as we have been laboring towards this from day one. There is plenty of room for growth (as there is in most communities), but we were all part of something special: the makings of a community. Residents helped set up tables, chairs, food service lines, and more! The Village Oaks community was serving each other, and the Easter Celebration was truly a community event!
Second, God is bigger than we think. If you joined us for the Celebration, you might recall our sound system over-heating. We were without a sound! This happened as Pastor Brown was beginning to present the gospel. In the moment, I was disappointed and remember thinking, "Come on! Not now! We need to be able to hear this!" Well, God doesn't need a sound system. We saw two people trust Jesus and another ask to hear more about Jesus. We saw people asking about getting involved with a nearby church. We saw God at work. We share this with you for your encouragement!
Thank you to all of our volunteers for your help! We really appreciate you taking the time to serve with us.
