Expansion project

We are nearing the end of the first phase of our expansion project. At the end of this week, children's ministry will begin their move into the new "Camp Oasis" area. Although, it will be several weeks before everything is completed in the children's area, they will begin to meet in their new rooms as the final touches are being made. One of the most exciting features of Camp Oasis to watch for will be the indoor playground. This will be in the main foyer at the end of the hall near the fountain. This should be completed within the next 4-6 weeks.

Presently, a new storage area is being enclosed on the rear part of the building to house all of the property teams equipment and soon walls will begin to come down in the area where our new auditorium will begin to take shape. This will be a 700 seat worship facility that will allow continued growth for the church family. Just off of the new auditorium there will be a prayer room, a connection room(A place to gather information about Oasis and opportunities for service, a recording room and also we are constructing a room for Starting Point and Next Step (Our membership class).

On the first Sunday in November, we plan to receive a "Finish Strong Offering" to help secure enough funds to complete our expansion project. Many of you have been faithful in giving and as we near the end I encourage everyone to give generously and with faith to this special offering. Again, the Finish Strong Offering will be on November 6. Please pray about what you should give on this day.

These are great times to be at Oasis and I am blessed to be your Lead Pastor. We continue to hear great reports of lives that are being changed and that disciples are growing in strength. May Gods hand continue to be with us as we move forward.
