Each year I enjoy going around our church on Father's and Mother's Day and giving special attention to our NEW Dads and Moms. It is a big deal and we should take time to honor those who in a given year have given BIRTH. Next Sunday, June 21st -- Father's Day -- is going to be a special day for our church as we celebrate the BIRTH of a NewSong Baby: Oak Hill Fellowship Church. It was a year ago that we launched our Oak Hill Campus under the leadership of Pastor Nate Newell. Just a week ago, our church voted to officially send them out, incorporated and officially acting as their own church. Some 60-70 people call Oak Hill their home and it is most satisfying as a Pastor of "Mother NewSong" (why is it that we call the original church "mothers" -- why not Dad??) oh well -- it is still very gratifying! I will have the joy of preaching there next Sunday. My message is -- "The God-Driven Church" -- there is all talk about "seeker-driven churches" and "Purpose-Driven" and even the "Market-Driven" Church....but when I read the Bible -- God -- who founded and gave birth to the first church wants His Bride to be HIM-DRIVEN!!! I am very excited and looking forward to a wonderful day of celebration!
