“Let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.” The verse comes from Exodus 25, when God gave Moses instructions on Mount Sinai about how to worship Him, along with the 10 commandments. On County Line Road between Dale Mabry Highway and U.S. 41 in north Lutz, a young church has turned that verse into a blueprint, literally and figuratively. Pastored by Rev. Edwin Frost, The Dwelling Place is getting ready to move into the first phase of its building project, beginning with its groundbreaking service that took place Sunday June 14. This is a big day for our church,” said Pastor Ed, as he prefers to be called, during the Sunday morning service. “This is not just a ceremonial thing, but a breakthrough” Frost may have been referring to the fact that this is not the first time a church has attempted to build on this very property. In 1976, Trinity Assembly, the first church to reside here, began a similar building project. Its first phase was the church building where The Dwelling Place now holds its services. But when the church split over a disagreement in doctrine, the building program was abandoned. Since that time, a slew of pastors and churches who have taken over the property have had similar aspirations, though none came to fruition. How can The Dwelling Place avoid a similar fate? Pastor Ed proposes the answer lies in looking to the past. “We can look at history and say, ‘We cannot take a step without [God].’” “This property is anointed by God. The enemy knows it, and wants to divide us. We’ve got to stick together. This isn’t about building a building; it’s about building a church.” The Dwelling Place holds services Sunday mornings at 10:30 am and Wednesdays at 7:00 pm.

Stacy visits LifeSource Family Chiropractic before leaving for South Africa to help kids orphaned by AIDS
Stacy Kolbe of Wesley Chapel, who recently received her Graduate Degree from USF, stopped in at LifeSource Family Chiropractic for a back adjustment from Dr. Erica Berns before leaving on the 26-hour trip to South African on May 18th and will be serving with MCDC setting up training programs for children orphaned by AIDS, for about two months. MCDC was set up by Melanie Streicher, a South African businesswoman spurred by personal tragedy to reach out to the vulnerable orphans in her country. It operates in Mpumulanga, a poor rural province in South Africa with over 50% unemployment and some 45% of people living with HIV, leading to large numbers of orphans.MCDC has set up five 'orphan drop in centres'. Each caters to about 80 children, as well as training and supporting local caregivers. In 2007, MCDC was given a derelict barn, and in 2008, it has been renovated and equipped as a training centre using HOPEHIV funds. Entrepreneurship and vocational training courses for the older orphans and vulnerable youth are starting in 2009.

What's all the “buzz' about in Land O Lakes? Yes, it's Spring and flowers are blooming, birds are singing and bees are buzzing. People are also buzzing about Oasis - a Pregnancy Care Center.
Peter Castellani, Director of Oasis – a
Pregnancy Care Center,
With Myrtle Lake Baptist Church established as the foundation for the formation of Oasis – a Pregnancy Care Center the next thing was to let other churches in the area know about Oasis and ask their help in making this important service for the community a reality. Willow Bend Community Church and Pastor Geoff Gordon came aboard with their support as well as “The Mustard Seed” Pregnancy Center which will be part of Oasis once the center opens. Castellani has also met with the Pasco Baptist Association. All Pastors of churches in the Land O Lakes area where sent invitations to the informational meeting with the following churches having representation: Candlewood Community, Harvester United Methodist Church, Holy Trinity Lutheran, University Church of the Lakes, and Victorious Life and Christian Social Services. Castellani said he would set up meetings, on an individual basis, with Pastors who were unable to attend . Castellani gave a little background about himself. He informed he was in Finance and Accounting at IBM for over 30 years when he recently lost his job.. He is no stranger to the operations of a pregnancy care center. He had worked in various capacities for over 10 years. He was a board member at A Woman's Place Ministries for several years and currently serves as President of the Pregnancy Care Center. of Zephyrhills. Castellani explained that Oasis will be a non-denominational, Christian, faith-based, non-profit ministry offering encouragement and support to all women and families experiencing an unplanned pregnancy regardless of faith and background. It will offer pregnancy tests, counseling, referrals, care information, parenting classes, training on relationship building, and bible study/support groups,. Additionally it will provide maternity clothing, newborn clothing, baby food baby furniture and other baby items. All services will be free. “We need your prayer for Oasis and the sanctity of human life.” he extolled the group. “We need your support and the support of the community. We need a liaison from each church, volunteers and financial support. We are looking for a facility to be donated for the first year so we can get started.. Finally, I would appreciate the opportunity to share the vision at your churches.” A very interactive question and answer session followed showing the excitement and interest in starting Oasis. The session was concluded with a blessing and lunch. If you want to become part of the “buzz”, support or get more information about Oasis -a Pregnancy Care Center, please e-mail Castellani at peter@oasispregnancycenter.org or visit the website at http://oasispregnancycenter.org. _____________________ Scroll Down ____________________ The North Pointe Church hosted Operation Egg Drop - from a helicopter!

It will feature several prominent artists and speakers who will minister powerful messages through song and speech. HolyZone is a Music Ministries geared to reaching teens and young adults, in the Tampa Bay area. Due to the violence, drugs and the many tragedies involving our youth, we have been inspired to promote positive messages for our young people who are our future. Many adults see today’s youth as rebellious, violent, disrespectful and even downright frightful. However, be honest and ask yourself when was the last time you stopped and tried to actually find out what might be wrong with a particular youth you know that demonstrates some of the above mentioned characteristics? If your answer was; not too many times or even never, it is okay. Many adults today give the same answer. We as a society have an opportunity to make a small change, a dent if you will in this concept. HolyZone Music Ministries is proud to announce it is hosting the Second annual “Step Up, Step Out 2008” concert scheduled for May 3, 2008 6PM at Victorious Life Church 6224 Old Pasco Rd, Wesley Chapel, Florida. The concert will host a variety of Hip Hop, R&B and alternative Rock musicians that spread “Positive” and “Clean” messages to the youth and young adults of today! The songs touch on true - life events and issues, but offer positive outlooks and endings to such situations. Last year HolyZone Music Ministries teamed up with Above and Beyond Ministries to host the first annual “Step up, Step out” concert which turned out to be a two day event. Hundreds of youths attended, and enjoyed the positive messages by such artists as: Corey Red, Sicily, Legacy, T.R.U.E., Craig Nice, Lil Prophet and FoCuSeD just to name a few. This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better! In order to make this event successful, we need your help! Some of the sponsors that were instrumental in the success of last year’s event where; Pepsi, Wesley Chapel Toyota, World Fighting Championship Mix Martial Arts, Hungry Howies, Camp Joy, Bridgeway Church, and Victorious Life Church. This year we are even looking for more sponsors so we may provide handouts (literature), souvenir caps and t-shirts to all those who attend the concert. We expect to fill each and every seat with adults, young adults and youths alike! Many high school students will be graduating a few weeks after our event, what a great way to prepare them for the World ahead! I personally would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and hopeful participation, and I pray that you will be an integral part of our plans with hope for our young people in the community.

held an informational meeting with Pastors and church leaders
from the Land O Lakes area at Myrtle Lake Baptist Church
Thursday morning, April 16.The thought of Oasis came to
Castellani from a vision from God back on January 31, 2009. “God
awoke me at 3:30 AM saying He wanted me to establish a pregnancy
care center in the Land O Lakes area.” said Castellani, “I wrote
everything down that He said and I promised Him I would not let
Him down.” Castellani solicited the help of Myrtle Lake Baptist
Church which touts the motto of being 'The Church That Cares!'.
When Elbert Nasworthy, the church Pastor, heard what Castellani
had to say he, unequivocally, backed the idea promising that the
church would come along side Oasis and help make it happen.
