Making Sense

I’ve been trying hard to make more sense to more people. That’s why I had such a great time teaching my 101 class last night. Most of the people there were new. To God, to the church, to the faith.  It’s not easy to make sense, you know. There are just so many Christian concepts [...]

What’s Wrong With Our Sound? Survey Comments

Finally! A chance to begin addressing your comments from our anonymous survey. The hardest part of this is going to be the that I can’t address ALL 520 of them. What I can do is pick out the common threads. So don’t be disappointed if your comment doesn’t show up here.

Surprised in Niagara Falls

Well, if you’ve seen my twitter updates, you know what my wife’s surprise was for us this long weekend: a trip to Niagara Falls! We just got back and had a great time. The girls got to go swimming & shopping, we ate at the Flying Saucer for breakfast (one of our favourite places there), [...]

Here are just two examples of stuff that happened last week:

This morning we were at (name removed’s) house.  [...]

How My Daughter Sees Me

Remember how, when you were a kid, everything looked different than it does now? Buildings were bigger, distances were further, and time was longer. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what things are like through the eyes of a child. That’s why we need children. They help us see ourselves and the world around us from [...]

OCC Survey Results – Part 2

Another question asked on the survey had to do with your 3 favourite things about Oshawa Community Church. Here’s what you said:

By far, two things stand out: music/worship and preaching/teaching. Third was the accepting atmosphere, followed closely by our vision. As you can see, there were 22 responses included under “other.” Some were repeated, but [...]
