Dear NEO District Family,
Has anybody told you “I love you” today? God loves you and I do, too.
Cole and Ambre Weston welcomed a 7 lb, 8 oz, 19 ½ inch girl, Caroline, into their world a week ago today. Cole says, “Looks very Choctaw (my side)”. I am excited to get to help in the dedication of Caroline this coming Sunday.
Maxine Morris, mother of Pastor Larry Morris (BA 1st), has been hospitalized and diagnosed with stage four lymphoma.
Don’t forget the Teen event at Sapulpa this Sunday night and the Pastor’s Training Day at SNU on Monday.
Our next “Theologically Speaking” session will be on Monday, October 18. The topic is an important one, “The Word of His Power: Our views on the Bible and Science.” What do we mean by the sola scriptura? The infallibility or inerrancy of scriptures? The Wesleyan Quadrilateral? Are science and Christian faith allies or adversaries?

Pastor’s “I Want to Celebrate…”
Mike Howard, Drumright…Drumright Church of the Nazarene is so excited and Praising God every day for the exciting time we are having with our thriving Youth Ministry. Last Wednesday evening we had 36 kids and 24 Youth and 8 Adult Leaders. Our Adult Class had a great study time with 9 in attendance. Thanks to the District Work and Witness Ministry led by Jerry Wilburg, our Youth House/Game Room for the Youth of our community is almost finished; some flooring still to be installed and painting and trim work. We are very excited to be able to give the youth in our small community a safe place to gather.
David Stevens, Vinita…We had a great month! God has blessed our services with His inspiration and presence. Don Aldridge and his Country Gospel band from Muskogee First Church helped us have a wonderful worship service on our Annual Western Sunday Service. God has raised up different ones of our group who had illness or surgery. He is faithful!
Casey Hollingsworth, Miami New Life…3 baptisms this month and received 2 adults and 2 teenagers into membership with more to come!
Steve Davis, Sapulpa…9 baptized and 8 members being received into membership; growing sense of unity among the body.
Dan Hazelton, Pryor... a two-day, three-service mini-revival with people receiving spiritual help and one person becoming a follower of Christ. I have started meeting with two new believers to take them through an eight-week discipleship course. We purchased Screenflex dividers, video projector and cart to use our fellowship hall for children's church.
John Whitsett, Tulsa Central… wonderful prayer times and a very powerful sense of God’s presence in our services since the church was called to prayer a few weeks ago. God is helping us negotiate some difficult and ticklish circumstances.
Jim Wilson, Pawhuska… healing in our midst! Three members have received what can only be described as remarkable if not miraculous healing in the last two weeks.
Gordon Smith, Dewey...Troy Thomas being issued his Local Minister’s License.
