Prayer Meeting<br />
Prayer Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening, March 21, at 7:00 pm. We will<br />
continue with our March Prayer Meeting Series on “The Four F’s of Practical Living:<br />
Future, Faith, Finances, and Family.” Our special guest speaker this Wednesday,<br />
March 21, will be Dr. John Matthews, Stewardship Director for the North American<br />
Division (NAD). On Wednesday, March 28, our special guest presenters will be Rick<br />
and Denise Mathis, Certified Marriage Mentors and Registered Premarital Counseling<br />
Source Providers. All are encouraged to attend on Wednesday evenings.<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
Jesus speaks about two men - one is extremely rich, the other is unimaginably poor.<br />
The rich man enjoyed the best of everything. The poor man, Lazarus, on the other<br />
hand, had nothing. His only companions were the many dogs who licked his sores.<br />
The crumbs were his only comfort that fell from the rich man’s table. The rich man<br />
may have thought he was doing his duty simply letting Lazarus eat leftovers from his<br />
table, but God required more. The rich man had the resources to relieve Lazarus’<br />
suffering, but he did next to nothing. Our salvation is by grace. It doesn’t depend on<br />
how much or how little we do for those who are less fortunate than we are, but rather<br />
sharing our resources with those who have less than we do is an indication that we<br />
have been touched by God’s grace, and that He has given us a heart to minister to<br />
“one of the least of these” (Matthew 25:40). This is what it means to be a faithful<br />
steward.<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” - Family Life Center<br />
Our Family Life Center is completed! We still, however, need your financial support<br />
to this building project. Each member is kindly asked to reach a minimum goal of<br />
$1,000.00 for this project (in addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget<br />
Offering). If you have reached your $1,000.00 goal, please feel free to give additional<br />
funds. Donations can be made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration<br />
40.” All donations are needed and sincerely appreciated. Thank you very much for<br />
your continued support to this project.<br />

Health Nugget: Colorectal cancer is the nation’s second-leading cause of cancer related<br />
deaths, yet it is one of only a few cancers that can be prevented. Through proper<br />
colorectal cancer screening, doctors can find and remove hidden growths (called “polyps”)<br />
in the colon, before they become cancerous. In fact, removing polyps can prevent cancer<br />
altogether. (Source: www.vidanthealth.com)<br />
