From the News Room blog, written by Robert Andrescik on 19-08-2008
Senators Barack Obama and John McCain briefly shared a stage Saturday Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church. The event underscored the candidates’ desire to capture the votes of Evangelical Christians. PBS’ NewsHour sought three perspectives on the event: Dr. Joel Hunter, senior pastor of Northland Church; Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, an arm of the Southern Baptist Convention; and Steven Waldman, who covers Evangelicals as founder and editor-in-chief of Beliefnet.
Panelists discussed the importance of “expanding, but not exchanging” issues that are key to us as believers … including, most importantly, protecting life. Watch the interview now.

Calling all women! If you are wondering what the women of West Oaks will be doing this Fall, don’t miss the brunch this coming weekend - after the 9am service. We are asking you bring a dish to share and we will provide the beverages. My desire would be to see every woman from the West Oaks community participate in this brunch. As all of us have heard and have been challenged to take on the character of Christ, I believe this is one of those opportunities to get involved in something greater than yourself. So, mark your calendar now to spend an hour or so with other women who want to grow and mature into the woman God has created them to be. For additional information please call Patti Novak at 352-989-7478.

This week we’re excited to begin testing a new system that will allow you to participate in Northland’s worship service, from beginning to end, anytime! You can use this tool if you are unable to join a live service. This is also a great way for you to introduce others to Christ, by inviting them to view a service. Let us know what you think, or share any ideas about how we can improve this resource to better equip for you ministry everywhere, every day.

This weekend, the worship team paid homage to the hardest working woman in the world … Mom. Northland’s own Patti Harshey sang “The Mom Song,” a light-hearted ditty describing everything Mom says in a 24-hour period. Set to the “William Tell Overture” and played by Tim Tracey and Susan Eissele, this song served as a perfect segue into Dr. Hunter’s sermon on “Mother’s Nature (Mother’s Job Description).”
