Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, January 10, 2018, at 7:00 pm.<br />
Prayer Meeting for adults and university students will be in the main sanctuary, while<br />
Prayer Meeting for our youth will be in the multi-purpose rooms. All are encouraged<br />
to attend. Remember, “much prayer, much power!”<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
We may or may not become wealthy, famous, or successful in terms of how the world<br />
thinks of these things, but God has promised to provide us with the things that are<br />
most important. His promise is, “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and<br />
enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of<br />
your heart” (Psalm 37:3, 4). When we are faithful in our Stewardship and dedicate all<br />
that we are and have to God’s service, He takes care of the rest. Why not start 2018<br />
by being honest and faithful with your Tithe and Combined Budget giving?<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 />
Our Family Life Center is over 75% completed! Praise the Lord! As we go into the<br />
“home stretch” for construction completion, everyone is kindly asked to intensify<br />
their giving efforts for our Family Life Center Building Project, which is inclusive of<br />
our “Restoration 40” initiative. Each member is asked to reach a goal of $1,000.00<br />
for this project through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation of<br />
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 />
