Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, July 6, at 7:00 pm in Moseley<br />
Complex. Please plan to be present as we pray, worship, and fellowship together.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
“Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance<br />
of the things he possesses” (Luke 12:15). Some individuals have mixed up<br />
their priorities. They love things and use people. Satan wants us to value things more<br />
than we value people. God’s way places things in their proper focus - items that are<br />
to be used to enhance our life and bless others. People are most important and God<br />
loves people more than anything. If you love people and use things rather than loving<br />
things and using people, your experience with Jesus will grow and develop abundantly.<br />
Let us participate in the worship of Tithe and Combined Budget giving today,<br />
keeping this very principle in mind - what I share today, I share for the love of my<br />
heavenly Father and His children.<br />
Oakwood Adventist Academy (OAA) Building Project<br />
Please be mindful of our financial commitment to the OAA Building Project. Given<br />
our church obligation of $3,000,000.00, the Oakwood University Church makes a<br />
monthly payment to satisfy this commitment. Let us all support this collective<br />
responsibility through our systematic financial support, which is in addition to our<br />
normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering. All donations, large or small, are sincerely<br />
appreciated. Kindly mark on your offering envelope, “OAA Building Fund.”<br />
“Restoration 40” - Construction of Family Life Center<br />
We are moving forward with the construction of our new Family Life Center! In<br />
commemoration of the 40th Anniversary (2017) of the completion of the current OUC<br />
edifice, our goal is to complete the construction of our new Family Life Center in<br />
2017! In support of this, all are asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per person.<br />
This can be done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation<br />
of donations from family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses<br />
(in addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). Donations<br />
can be made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.”<br />
