Stewardship Corner<br />
Jesus has given us time, earthly goods, and choice - three things to be cherished and<br />
valued, three gifts that we can use and return to the One who provided it all for us in<br />
the first place. Our gracious God gives to us over and over again. Today we ask Him<br />
for one more gift - the gift of a generous spirit. If our hearts are generous in our Tithe<br />
and Combined Budget Offering and open to God, this will be the true test of our relationship<br />
and acceptance of Jesus.<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 systematic<br />
financial support, which is in addition to our normal Tithe and Combined Budget<br />
Offering. All donations, large or small, are sincerely appreciated. Kindly mark on<br />
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 />

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<br />
(in addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). If you have<br />
reached your $1,000.00 goal, please feel free to give additional funds. Donations can<br />
be made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.” Thank you.<br />
