Stewardship Corner<br />
“Then a man came . . . And brought the man of God bread of the first fruits - twenty<br />
loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsnack. And he said, ‘Give<br />
it to the people that they may eat.’ But his servant said, ‘What? Shall I set this before<br />
one hundred men?’ And he said again, ‘Give it to the people that they may eat; for<br />
thus says the Lord: They shall eat and have some left over’” (2 Kings 4:42-43). When<br />
God’s blessings are added to even meager amounts which are brought in response to<br />
placing Him first, the results are multiplied far beyond human reasoning could calculate.<br />
Let us thank God that His blessings turn small amounts into multiplication tables<br />
of benefits for His people. God’s first fruits yield abundance beyond their measure.<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 the Lord! Everyone<br />
is kindly asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per person for this project.<br />
This can be done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation<br />
of donations from family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses (in<br />
addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). If you have reached<br />
your $1,000.00 goal, please feel free to give additional funds. Donations can be made<br />
via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.” Thank you.<br />
