From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Church Family,

       December went by so fast, but was so busy.  Every time I turned around I was at another party.  The Live Nativity was such a blessing. God bless all of you who had a part in making it a success.

       At the end of every year, I reflect on accomplishments, failures, goals met and not met.  I think of how I obeyed God or disobeyed Him.  It is a way that helps me to evaluate my life.  Then I pray, asking God to reveal the truth of it all and asking Him for details to plans I believe He is giving me. 

      I am always amazed at how good God has been to me.  I am amazed at how good God has been to Oakland Baptist Church this year.  God has blessed in so many ways. On Sunday, January 8, in the morning service, I will be sharing “The State of the Church” message.  We will review 2011 and I will lay out plans for 2012.  I am asking every church member to be present that day.  God bless each of you.

Serving the Savior, Pastor Mike
