Meeting for adults and university students will be in the main sanctuary, while Prayer<br />
Meeting for our youth will be in the multi-purpose rooms. All are encouraged to attend.<br />
Remember, “much prayer, much power!”<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
As we read the Bible, we realize that God’s family isn’t perfect. Everyone has to live<br />
with some regrets. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and Hezekiah, to name a few, all<br />
had character flaws familiar to us. Still, there’s a place in God’s heart and in His family<br />
for us all. Let’s remember God’s amazing grace as we return to Him a faithful<br />
Tithe and give a generous Combined Budget Offering today.<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 90% 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 />
Free Tax Preparation Service - Stewardship Department<br />
Our OUC Stewardship Department is once again offering free tax preparation services<br />
for simple tax returns. This year, in an effort to accommodate more individuals, we<br />
are offering a convenient “drop-off” service. Procedures, along with a checklist, may<br />
be picked up in the church office. After the submission of all requested documents<br />
(W-2’s, charitable receipts, 2017 income tax returns, etc.), tax forms will be completed<br />
within 10 days. ~ Dr. Everett Roper, OUC Stewardship Leader<br />
Welcome<br />
