Prayer Meeting
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, September 27, at 7:00 pm.
Please plan to be present as Prayer Meeting for the adults/university students will be
in the sanctuary, while our youth will have their service in the multi-purpose rooms.
Additionally, worship credit will be granted to all university students in attendance
through the Oakwood University Office of Spiritual Life.
Stewardship Corner
Jesus called the disciples in the midst of their normal lives, as they were busy with
their usual work on the shoreline of a lake that was very familiar to them. He said,
“Come and follow Me!” Though they did not fully recognize the significance of their
response to His summons, they literally dropped what they were doing and followed
Him. You and I may not always recognize the calls of Jesus which come to us, even
those that come on a normal Sabbath as we sit in our customary place. Some calls are
more far-reaching than others, but they come nonetheless. As you give your Tithe
and Combined Budget Offering today to support the ministry of our church, hearing
Jesus’ call to action, won’t you respond - not merely to what is said by your fellow
human beings, but rather to what Jesus directs you to do?
Oakwood Adventist Academy (OAA) Building Project
Please be mindful of our financial commitment to the OAA Building Project. Given
our church obligation of $3,000,000.00, the OUC makes a monthly payment to satisfy
this commitment. Let us all support this collective responsibility through our systematic
financial support, which is in addition to our normal Tithe and Combined Budget
Offering. All donations, large or small, are sincerely appreciated. Kindly mark on
your offering envelope, “OAA Building Fund.”
“Restoration 40” - Construction of Family Life Center
Everyone is kindly asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00 per person for our
Family Life Center Building Project, which is inclusive of our “Restoration 40” initiative.
This can be done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation
of donations from family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses
(in addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). If you have
reached your $1,000.00 goal, please feel free to give additional funds. Donations can
be made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.” Thank you.
Personal Ministries Council Meeting
There will be a Personal Ministries Council Meeting tomorrow, September 24, from
