Prayer Meeting<br />

school students from Oakwood Adventist Academy (OAA) will present their<br />
annual Spring Concert. We look forward to seeing you!<br />
Stewardship Corner<br />
The Apostle Paul had to acknowledge that in spite of his suffering for Christ’s sake,<br />
God refused to grant him relief from the physical affliction that plagued him. Paul<br />
called it “a thorn in my flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7). More than once, Paul begged<br />
God to remove this thing, but each time the Lord replied, “My grace is sufficient for<br />
you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Part of accepting<br />
God’s lordship in our lives is accepting with humility the trials He asks us to carry,<br />
as well as the blessings. We dedicate our Tithe and Combined Budget Offering to<br />
Him because we know that in all things He will be faithful.<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 in full operation as ministries and services are daily being<br />
offered in our new facility! We still, however, need your financial support to this<br />
building project. Each member is kindly asked to reach a minimum goal of $1,000.00<br />
for this project (in addition to your normal Tithe and Combined Budget Offering). If<br />
you have reached your $1,000.00 goal, please feel free to give additional funds. Donations<br />
can be made via your offering envelope and labeled, “Restoration 40.” All<br />
donations are needed and sincerely appreciated.<br />
Prayer Ministries<br />
Please join our “Praying for Our Children” initiative each Wednesday evening from<br />
6:00 to 7:00 pm in the Parents’ Room. Also, Prayer Warriors are needed. To join,<br />
