Prayer Meeting<br />

Complex. Please plan to be present as we pray, worship, and fellowship together.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul<br />
prospers” (3 John 1:2). Jesus’ plan for abundant life now - includes spiritual, intellectual,<br />
physical, social, financial, and talent development. It is the privilege of every<br />
believer to learn of God’s desire for enhancing their life and then to personally experience<br />
this reality in their daily walk with the Savior. As you worship God by bringing<br />
your Tithe and Combined Budget gifts to Him, remember that your heavenly Father is<br />
vitally interested in every aspect of your life, and He wants you to prosper in every<br />
way possible.<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 />
In commemoration of the 40th Anniversary (2017) of the completion of the current<br />
OUC edifice, our goal is to complete the construction of our new Family Life Center<br />
in 2017! In support of this, all are asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per<br />
person. This can be done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the<br />
solicitation of donations from family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and<br />
businesses (in addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). Donations<br />
can be made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.”<br />
Groundbreaking Ceremony - Family Life Center<br />
It is with great excitement that we announce the Groundbreaking Ceremony for our<br />
