Stewardship Corner<br />
“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the<br />
manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). Christian Stewardship embraces a balance in<br />
every area of life and involves far more than calculating our financial gifts. While<br />
giving money may be an important measure of our spiritual growth, our ministry to<br />
one another and sharing God’s grace with those who have not known His love is also<br />
an important measure of our growing development in His plans for our life. As we<br />
worship God today by bringing the financial gifts He has given to us, let us remember<br />
that our most important stewardship choice will be how we serve as stewards of His<br />
grace.<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 is going great! Praise God! Everyone is<br />
kindly asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per person for this project. This<br />
can be done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation of<br />
donations from family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses (in<br />
addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). Donations can be<br />
made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.” Thank you.<br />
Thank You<br />
To the Oakwood University Church Pastors, Deacons, and Members: Thank you for<br />
the kindness shown to me during both of my hospital stays. The beautiful plant, fruit<br />
basket, monetary gifts, cards, telephone calls, visits, and prayers were a great source<br />
of comfort. I am thankful to be up and about, however, the ordeal is not over. Please<br />
continue to lift me up in prayer. God bless you all. ~ Charles Williams<br />
