Today was my first Sunday at Oak Grove. Everyone has been so kind and gracious to us. It's good to be back in the "south" again. It seems easier to make connections with people.
The church placed a nice banner infront of the church that said welcome to our new pastor Rev. Travis Northcutt and his family...Amy, Lucy, and Lilly. It was a pleasant suprise!
Amy and I worked on setting my office up over the weekend. It's not the oval office, but I'm proud of it. I made sure all my books were unpacked and she made sure all the pictures were symetrical!
The service went really well. We had approximately 130 in Sunday School and add another 20-25 in worship. The church had a new sound system put in last week which included two 50" LCD t.v. screen upfront for video/powerpoint. Needless to say we have some work to do on our powerpoint skills. I had to tell them to stop showing the slides about half way through the message because it was confusing people. O well it will all come together in time.
After the morning service the chairman of deacons, Mike Jimison, presented us with a nice plant, cards, and a gift card to Wal-Mart. Following the presentation we all proceeded over to the fellowship hall to have lunch together. Imagine that, a Baptist Church eating together. That might be a first!
To confirm what I had already suspected, half the people in North Carolina skip Sunday Night church as well. However, we did have a decent crowd and a good Bible Study. All-in-all it was a great day. The first of what I hope are many to come! God Bless
