Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, November 15, at 7:00 pm.<br />
Please plan to be present as Prayer Meeting for our adults/university students will be<br />
in the sanctuary, while our youth will have their service in the multi-purpose rooms.<br />
Additionally, worship credit will be given to all university students in attendance.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
Although it’s tempting to believe we can have it all, we still have to make choices.<br />
We either make service to God our highest priority, or we serve our own selfish interests<br />
to the detriment of our relationship with God. Sacrifice is a fact of life on the<br />
way to God’s kingdom. But it’s also a fact that God will abundantly bless whatever<br />
we dedicate to Him. Let us make the choice today to be generous with the blessings<br />
God has entrusted to us by faithfully returning our Tithe and Combined Budget Offering.<br />
Remember, the Lord loves cheerful givers.<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 />
Family Life Center Building Project, which is inclusive of our “Restoration 40” initiative.<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 />
