Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, July 27, at 7:00 pm in Moseley<br />
Complex. Please plan to be present as we pray, worship, and fellowship together.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
“For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit<br />
which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:20). Jesus went shopping for lost souls and He<br />
spent everything to purchase you. Your personal salvation cost the blood of God’s<br />
own dear Son. Your response to God’s love by the returning of a faithful Tithe and<br />
Combined Budget Offering recognizes the marvelous gift of His life, the substitutionary<br />
sacrifice of His death, and the blessed assurance of His promised coming. How<br />
does your participation in God’s work glorify His plans and desires for your life?<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 />
Thank You<br />
A special “Thank you” to my OUC Family for the many prayers that ascended in my<br />
behalf. I am fully recovered with no signs of pneumonia. God be praised! ~ Kyna<br />
