Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, April 5. You will not want to<br />
miss this upcoming week’s Prayer Meeting as the Oakwood University Senior Class<br />
will be leading out. Please plan to be in attendance as this will be the first Prayer<br />
Meeting Worship Experience post our Spring Evangelistic Revival. Let’s keep the<br />
revival fires burning! All are encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
She was a desperate woman - sick with an incurable disease. Jesus turned around and<br />
asked, “Who touched me?” The disciples pointed out in amazement that everyone<br />
near Jesus had been constantly jostling against Him. But Jesus knew her touch had<br />
been filled with a special hope and a desperate faith. It was faith that Jesus honored,<br />
even before the woman’s act became public. There are people all around us who are<br />
like this woman. Perhaps you know yourself to be one of them. Today as you give<br />
your Tithe and Combined Budget Offering, you are truly opening the way for people<br />
to be transformed. But you may never even know about it until the day God makes<br />
all things plain. Let us give with glad, liberal hearts, knowing that He will take what<br />
we give and apply it wisely to the lives of distressed people all around 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 OUC makes a monthly payment to satisfy<br />
this commitment. Let us all support this collective responsibility through our<br />
systematic financial support, which is in addition to our normal Tithe and Combined<br />
Budget Offering. All donations, large or small, are sincerely appreciated. Kindly<br />
mark on your offering envelope, “OAA Building Fund.”<br />
“Restoration 40” - Construction of Family Life Center<br />
Everyone is kindly asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per person for our<br />
Family Life Center Building Project. This can be done through a one time gift,<br />
systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation of donations from family members,<br />
friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses (in addition to your normal Tithe and<br />
Combined Budget Offering). If you have reached your $1,000.00 goal, please feel<br />
free to give additional funds. Donations can be made via your offering envelope and<br />
labeled, “Restoration 40.” Thank you very much for your support.<br />
Oakwood Adventist Academy (OAA) - Academy Day<br />
