Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, August 10, at 7:00 pm in Moseley<br />
Complex. Please plan to be present as we pray, worship, and fellowship together.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
“Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (john 8:36). True<br />
freedom comes by knowing Jesus and experiencing His plan for your personal life.<br />
He declares that one of the purposes of the gospel is to liberate captives. How do<br />
Christians experience this freedom? God’s love gives believers freedom from the<br />
guilt of their past and assurance of forgiveness for their sins. The Holy Spirit’s transformation<br />
gives victory over the controlling evil of Satan’s power and enables believers<br />
to serve others in Christ’s name. The soon return of our Savior promises freedom,<br />
even from the presence of sin, as we live eternally in Jesus’ kingdom. Let us freely<br />
share our all with Him, reveling in the freedom He has given us in Christ.<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 />

Dear OUC Family: We want to extend our sincere appreciation for the love and support you<br />
have shown to our family for the past four years. During our tenure at the OUC, you<br />
worked diligently to open your homes for visits and lunch invitations, encouraged the development<br />
of our God-given gifts, and provided much needed words of encouragement. The<br />
impact that you have made on our ministry will never be forgotten. We are also overwhelmed<br />
by the cards and gifts that you shared during our farewell reception. Words cannot<br />
express our gratitude! Please know that although we are separated by physical distance,<br />
our hearts and prayers will always be with you. God’s blessings! ~ Dr. Toussaint and<br />
LaKeisha Williams and sons, Eleazar and Uriah<br />
