Stewardship Corner<br />
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8)! Did you know that testing<br />
God’s promises actually builds and strengthens the faith of His people? Rather than<br />
dishonoring God, experiments of faith honor His word and power! Notice how spiritual<br />
experiments develop dynamic life. “Real experience is a variety of careful experiments<br />
made with the mind freed from previously established habits and opinions”<br />
(Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 3, p. 69). When God asks us to prove His<br />
faithfulness, He is honored when we “try it out” in real-life experiments. Let our<br />
Tithe and Combined Budget Offering gifts today be a demonstration that we have<br />
proved His faithfulness and blessings to us.<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 />
