Our weekly bulletin + connection point
Here's a look at the week ahead... and beyond!
Annual Tradition
April 3We're hosting the Good Friday Soup + Bread Dinner for our community again this year! Cook a crock pot of soup or bake fresh bread to share with those seeking redemption this Easter! Sign up here. Then, grab invite cards from the resource tables and invite your friends and neighbors to join us for dinner at 6 p.m. and a Good Friday service at 7 p.m.
Looking Ahead...
Connect with God
You're invite to our new Wednesday night group for adults called Connect with God. Gain insights and practical tools to connect with God through prayer and worship. We will use Scripture as we learn to develop a deeper, more intentional relationship with the Lord, knowing, experiencing, loving, and obeying Him. Sign up here.
Intentional Dining
Spend some time with family or friends while enjoying a fish fry at The Commodore on March 20, and you'll be contributing to Oakwood's partnerships! This neighbor of ours is donating 10% of proceeds back to Oakwood from fish fry purchases. Learn more, view the menu, and make reservations.

Partner Update
Please pray for Heather Hall of GlobalFingerprints. She will soon be training with the team from “When Helping Hurts” to learn their process for poverty alleviation and strategic planning. Pray she will be able to apply the process with the team in Congo. Pray for more strong believers with high capacity and integrity to join their team, and for God to raise up a Congo Assistant Site Coordinator and an administrative assistant.
Teen Training
Do you know how to share the gospel with others? Does your teenager? On March 21 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., 6th-12th graders will be learning how to effectively share the gospel with Dare 2 Share Ministries. Donuts and drinks are provided. Encourage your teen to join Pastor Caleb at this great event!
New Ministry
If life is tough, don't go through it alone. Oakwood now has Stephen Ministers trained to care for you, one-on-one, while you navigate difficult circumstances in your life. Learn more about Stephen Ministries or reach out to our team to start your healing journey.
Become an Elder
"What does it look like to be an elder? Am I good elder candidate?" If you've asked yourself these questions, please visit with one of our elders at the back of the worship center on Sunday, March 15. They'll share more about the opportunity.
