Check out the video spoof below. It’s a guy named Lincoln Hawk impersonating Rob Bell. If you’ve seen the Nooma videos, I think you’ll find this hilarious. Enjoy!

We wrapped up another VBX Friday night. This was my first-ever OCC VBX experience. I thought it went very well. Daryl Amis and Brian Munsey did a great job leading and organizing. 250+ different children attended at least one night. Over 150 adults helped pull it off. The 5th graders on my team (a.k.a. “Baseball Buddies”) seemed [...]

Yesterday we had one of our missionaires preach at our worship services. His name is Peter Ignatius. Peter is President of Lakeview Bible College & Seminary in Chennai, India.

We sat between Christ United Church of Christ and Serpentini Chevrolet on Main Street. It was supposed to be the “no noise zone,” but that wasn’t entirely true. Noah [...]

1. VBX – All the fun begins July 15th. Pray that many children and families will be reached to the glory of God. Also pray for Daryl Amis (Children’s Minister) and Brian Munsey (Director). These are great men who need an extra measure of grace and strength as VBX approaches.
2. Strategic Planning – We have 18 [...]
