Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible 

This study, by well-known Bible-teacher Kay Arthur, will lead us to examine Scripture and specifically mark the text to unlock its meaning. Our goals will be to understand what we are reading, recognize key words and concepts, discern God’ s purpose for the passage of Scripture and apply life-changing truths to everyday life. 

This is a very practical, hands-on, learn-by-doing Bible study. Biblical text and space to write insights are included in the book. Bring a pen, a few colored pencils... and a prayerful heart to complete each study and experience the Bible’ s life-changing power. 

When: Thursday afternoons, October 11-December 13 (NOT November 22) 

1:00-2:30 p.m. 
At Melissa Whitehead’s home 

Suggested donation: $9

Here’s what we’ll be talking about on Sunday, September 23- 

Elementary—God is Lord of All
Genesis 12-16 (The Promise/Abraham) 

This week we’ll meet Abram, or Abraham, as he will be called, the man who came to be the father of the Jewish nation. 

When Abram was 75 years old, God told him to leave his country, his people and his father’s household and go to a land that He would show him. Think about that for a minute. But God didn’t stop there. God promised Abram that he would be a great nation, and that his name would be great and that all people on earth would be blessed through him. Wow! 

The Bible says that Abram didn’t even hesitate. Abram left everything to start a new life with God. God had a greater plan for Abram. Through Abram, Jesus would be born and all people on earth would be blessed. We are part of the many nations God promised to Abram.

September Bible Verse: Deuteronomy 7:9

Preschool—God is a Promise Keeper
Genesis 6-9 (Noah & the Flood) 

As the years passed after God created Adam & Eve, the world filled with bad people who refused to listen to and obey God. The Bible says God was “grieved” that He had made man, so He decided to “wipe mankind from the face of the earth.” God could only find one man who loved Him. His name was Noah. 

God remembered the promise He made to send a Redeemer, so He saved Noah and his family and a few of every kind of animal from the flood. God asked Noah to build an ark, which is where they all lived for a year. When the flood had stopped and dry land appeared again, Noah, his family and all of the animals in the ark came out of the ark. God made another promise with Noah—never again to destroy all of life with a flood. God put a rainbow in the sky so all who see it would remember His promise. God is a promise keeper. 

At Home Weekly Tru Wonder

September Bible Verse: Psalm 33:1

2 Year Olds–God Made People
Genesis 1-2 (Adam & Eve) Foundational Truth: God made Me 

We’ll spend the next two weeks learning that God made people. We are made in God’s image. God created us to have relationship with Him and with others. 

This is going to be fun! Helping children understand that God made each of them—different, yet the same in many ways. Don’t we have an amazing God?! Yes we do!!!

Operation Christmas Child is Back!

Operation Christmas Child is a great way for kids to make a difference in the life of a child around the world. Kids learn to give to others and can see how God works through their gifts. All you have to do is pick up one of the shoeboxes provided, and follow the directions on the insert or online to fill the shoebox. Then return the filled shoebox to the OCC booth at Oakwood no later than Sunday, November 11^th. Be sure to add a check for $9 to help with shipping charges. We’ll take them to the area drop off site for pick-up and distribution. It’s really that easy! Let’s see if we can help 200 children this year with our shoebox gifts!

Wednesday Night~

• Preschoolers will be learning that God made animals.
• Elementary kids will be looking at the Incredible Faith of Abraham as he obeyed God not matter what He asked.
