Stewardship Corner<br />
“Return unto Me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 4:7).<br />
God sets His commandment about faithfulness in tithes and offerings, within the<br />
framework of covenantal and relationship-based reasoning for His call. Our relationship<br />
with Jesus is the basis for returning His tithes and giving our offerings of thanksgiving.<br />
When our spiritual life returns to proper relationship with God, our time, talents,<br />
treasury, and life priorities will follow that pattern and God’s blessings will return<br />
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 />
Construction for our new Family Life Center has begun! Praise the Lord! Please be<br />
mindful to govern the new parking and driveway guidelines. Also, everyone is kindly<br />
asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per person for this project. This can be<br />
done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation of donations<br />
from family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses (in addition to<br />
your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). Donations can be made via your<br />
offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.”<br />
