GREAT OAKS UPDATE · April 3, 2010
Greetings!

Easter's a comin'! Join us tomorrow at 10 am at West Middle School as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus!

Next week we'll be sending out the first and perhaps the most important of several mailings to invite people to join the launch team of Great Oaks. Pray that the Lord will go before these mailings. If you have names of people you'd like to receive our brochure and an invitation to join us, just send me their names and addresses. For more info on the mailing, click here to view our last newsletter.

This week at Village we'll be addressing, sealing and stamping several hundred envelopes, and praying for God to gather those he has called to join our team. All Villages will be at the Bradford's home this week.

Our next Great Oaks REACH event is Saturday, April 24 from 9 am to 3 pm at Grace Centers of Hope. Mark your calendar!

All for Jesus,
Paul
SundayEaster at West Middle School
Morning Service tomorrow -  Sunday, 10 am

We are meeting the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 10 am at West Middle School, 500 Old Perch Road, Rochester Hills, and will meet again tomorrow, April 4. Soon we will begin weekly services at the Middle School. More information will come soon.

The Message
The two great tragedies of our humanity is the power of sin and death in our lives. Sunday we'll share how Jesus conquered both sin and death through his resurrection, and why we can be sure the resurrection is a historical event, which gives us confidence in what Jesus has won for us.

Worship
Our worship band will lead us in celebration of Jesus' resurrection.

Great Oaks REACH event!

In three weeks, on Saturday, April 24, from 9 am to 3 pm, we're all going to join together at Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac, MI to serve our community in a tangible way. We will be doing outside clean up and painting. More details will come, but for now get this important event on your calendar!
Downtown Prayer!

Each Friday morning from 7:45 to 8:15 am, a small group of folks from Great Oaks are meeting at the Bean and Leaf coffee shop in downtown Rochester.

Our prayer time is informal, most onlookers wouldn't even know we're praying. But we are, and we're aiming to bless our city and bless Bean and Leaf as well. We sit together in small groups of 3 or 4 and pray in a conversational tone of voice, praising God, interceding for our area, and praying for Great Oaks.

We're having a great time. We can since God's presence and pleasure. Join us if you can!
