Caz McCaslin Coming to Arrow Heights Baptist Church

Todd McCoy — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:16:38 GMT

On Sunday, August 2nd at 10:45am join us at Arrow Heights to hear from Caz McCaslin who is the founder of Upward Unlimited. Caz served as Minister of Recreation at First Baptist Church of Spartanburg, South Carolina for over nine years where the Upward Basketball ministry began in 1986. Through the years, Upward grew to the point that children were being turned away. At that time, various lay people encouraged Caz to expand the Upward ministry. He resigned his position as Minister of Recreation and founded Upward Unlimited, Inc. in 1995. Upward began with a vision to reach unlimited lost children and their families for Christ. Over the past 13 years, the ministry has grown from one church to over 2,500 churches and from 700 participants to over 500,000 participants. Caz is the author of the book, “Every Child Is A Winner,” a guide to developing childhood confidence that last a lifetime.

Caz states, “The mission of Upward Unlimited is to introduce children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports. We will strive to accomplish our mission by having a constant expectation of God-moments, a life of integrity, a discipline of excellence, and placing a priority on children.”

Student Worship Media Volunteers Needed

Jeremy Davidson — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:15:26 GMT

Are you looking for a place to serve in a high pressure, loud, and fast-paced environment where computer and technical skills are required? Do high energy worship, techno beams, videos full of jump cuts, and metal laden guitar solos get you excited? If you are still reading after a description like that you may have what it takes to volunteer with the Student Ministry Media Team. We are currently looking for Adults to help in the following areas:

Running the sound board
Operating our lyric presentation program and PowerPoint
Running the images behind the words
Changing the lights
Setting up and tearing down the stage equipment
Playing keyboard
Singing with the band

We are looking for disciplined volunteers to keep the Wednesday night program running smooth and to help it mature into a more dynamic worship experience. Training is provided for all volunteers, but if you have problems loading a DVD or have never worked an iPod this might not be the place for you.

Contact Student Worship Arts Director Jeremy Davidson at jeremy@arrowheights.org or (405) 615-3666 to get plugged into the Wednesday Revolution.

First Impressions Team Post #1

Jeremy Davidson — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 08:06:33 GMT

You may or may not have noticed this past weekend that we have expanded our cafe fellowship by bringing coffee, tea, and water to the Welcome Center and Worship Center. You probably noticed the sign reading Eutycus Cafe in this area. The cafe is named after a man from the Book of Acts, a teenager who was listening to Paul preach. Paul had been preaching many hours and was going late into the night, when Eutycus (also know as Eutychus) fell asleep and fell from the third story window where he was listening and was was brought to Paul dead. Paul embraced the boy and life comes back into him.

Now it should be a comfort for us preachers to know that people feel asleep listening to the sermons of Paul too. All joking aside, we have opened the Eutycus Cafe in order to provide a little hospitality to our guests, provide a pick me up for those who may still be waking up on Sunday morning, and as a way to create an environment where people can gather to discuss their week and their worship experience. Please take our guests to the Cafe and talk about why you chose to attend Arrow Heights. You can take your coffee or tea back to your seat inside the worship center to further your conversation or choose to sit in one of the gathering spaces around the worship center.

If you would enjoy serving as a member of the Eutycus Cafe Hospitality Team please contact Jeremy Davidson at jeremy@arrowheights.org or by calling (405) 615-3666. We need people to make coffee, brew tea, serve beverages, and clean after the services. Please consider serving with us.
