Dear NEO family,

What a great time to be a Christian! In the midst of so much uncertainty and shifting sand, isn’t it great to build our lives upon the Solid Rock!

What a privilege it is for me to visit the wonderful churches in NEO! The past two Sundays I was at Miami New Life and Tulsa Hills. I conducted pastoral reviews with both churches and Pastor Casey Hollingsworth and Pastor Jim Thornton had excellent reviews. Pastor Thornton spoke during the review of his desire for God to be big in his life, in the lives of the Board and the whole church. What a great pursuit! What would that mean in your life? Your church? May God be BIG in our lives today.
