OSLM has been working diligently to add a second worship service at 10:30am in contemporary style to its Sunday mornings called “Sequel”. Sequel is a “come as you are” type worship. The service currently is able to support two worship teams with limited musicians, but could use some help with the supplying instrumentalists. Instruments that are needed include: bassists, guitars, and especially drummers. Make sure you have your Tuesday nights free to rehearse. “Alpha” rehearses every Tuesday at 5:30-6:45pm and “Beta” rehearses from 7pm-8pm every other Tuesday. If you would be interested in rehearsing and playing for Sequel, please contact Amanda Newman by email or by phone at 925-447-2082 x263 for more information.

This lively and moving production will be presented in the sanctuary. Here’s what the creators of the musical have to say about it:

     Jesus was a storyteller. A quick glance at the gospels reveals Him constantly regaling the crowds with tales designed to teach, amuse, puzzle, and even irritate. And two thousand years later, His words are still fresh – the double meanings and surprise endings of the stories challenge and enlighten us. We hope you’ll discover, as we did, the underlying surprise in the words and life of Jesus. The love of God is always more than we expect! (Tom Long and Allen Pote)

Join us as we stage the gospel in a fun new way; you’ll be glad you came!
