One of my favorite days of the year is this Sunday — the day we hear from our Students about their various experiences with God lately. Ethan Watt, our Director of Student Ministries, will be providing coordinating leadership — he has been doing an outstanding job since arriving in March, and we are blessed. In addition to some of the students sharing their musical talents in worship, we will also hear some of them share testimonies of what God has been doing in their lives. We also plan to have students assisting in all aspects of worship service support. I urge you to make plans to be there with me to encourage these young people, and be encouraged as they share from their hearts. Let’s also be praying for Ethan Watt, Joe Mullen, Alicia Mathews and the rest of our student ministry team.

I’m always pleased to have Rev. Jeff Jaynes preaching at Christ Church! He is a great communicator and is always so well received by our congregation. Jeff is going to be preaching in the Sanctuary at 9:30 & 11 am and online by livestream too. He is Executive Director of Restore Hope here in Tulsa, our UM extension ministry with a mission of “Restoring families in financial crisis to economic and spiritual vitality”. Jeff’s sermon ,“I Believe in the Kingdom That Has No End” from John 6:1-14 will be a relevant message we need to hear. I’m so pleased to partner with Restore Hope in its mission, and am grateful to Jeff for his collaborative leadership. It’s going to be another great day of worship this Sunday. Be sure to welcome and indicate your appreciation to Jeff!
