Dear NEO family,

I have heard many wonderful reports about the Centennial Celebration in churches across the District. It seems obvious from scripture that God likes to have his people gather for times of festival and celebration. It is good to give thanks for his activity in our midst and to claim his leadership for the future. We have a wonderful heritage to celebrate…and best of all, God is not finished with us. May we unite in seeking God’s power to “make Christlike disciples in the nations!”

Gloria and I had the privilege of celebrating the Centennial with South County Community Church. This was launch Sunday and Pastor Doug and Lecia and all of the launch team did a great job, including having rockets launching at the end of the service. Pictures of our visit are available at the link below:

I also was able to attend a revival service at Broken Arrow 1st last week. Pastor Larry Morris and the BA family have done a fantastic job of remodeling and updating their facilities. See pictures below:
