Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, February 21, at 7:00 pm. Prayer<br />
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.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
When Jesus wanted to feed 5,000 people, He took the small amount of resources the<br />
disciples had in their possession - five loaves of bread and two fish - and multiplied<br />
this simple meal into a banquet feast. The disciples believed they didn’t have sufficient<br />
resources. Jesus simply used what they had in their possession to expand His<br />
blessings to thousands. Even if your resources are meager, they can still bless thousands<br />
when Jesus adds His creative energy to your generosity. Most of us have limited<br />
resources, but if we take a look around at all the material, emotional, and spiritual<br />
blessings we enjoy, we’ll see that we can afford to share what we have, and the results<br />
will be remarkable.<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 99% complete! The Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting Date<br />
is next Sabbath, February 24! As we go into the “home stretch” for construction completion,<br />
everyone is kindly asked to intensify their giving efforts for our Family Life<br />
Center Building Project, which is inclusive of our “Restoration 40” initiative. Each<br />
member is asked to reach a goal of $1,000.00 for this project through a one time gift,<br />
systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation of donations from family members,<br />
friends, neighbors, co-workers, and businesses (in addition to your normal Tithe and<br />
Combined Budget Offering). If you have reached your $1,000.00 goal, please feel<br />
free to give additional funds. Donations can be made via your offering envelope and<br />
labeled, “Restoration 40.” Thank you very much for your support.<br />
