Our weekly bulletin + connection point
Here's a look at the week ahead... and beyond!
Community Outreach
Aug. 24We're really excited to host our local community for the Summer Picnic on Aug. 24! It takes quite a bit of work to provide a meal and fun for a few hundred people. Can you help? Check out the volunteer and donation opportunities and sign up ASAP.
Looking Ahead...
Aug. 3-31
Worship together as a "family of families" at 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings at Oakwood! Family Month not only provides respite for our volunteers, but it also gives kids and youth the opportunity to do "big church." Kids Bulletins and Busy Bags are available for elementary-aged kids. Childcare is provided for those 4 and younger.
Give Life
Aug. 12
The Red Cross is hosting a blood drive at Oakwood on Tuesday, Aug. 12 from 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Sign up for an appointment here. Not a fan of donating blood? Share this opportunity with a friend who can help.

Missions Update
Please pray for Don and Kim Gillaspie as they forge a team in their First Nation community in West Central Canada. A new assistant and an asset manager have been added and they all need protection from the enemy as they serve Jesus in a hard place. Praise for two more weeks with no new fires, for the recent wedding of a couple where Don proclaimed the name of Jesus, and for the Lord’s constant presence and guidance.
Bonfire for the Ladies
Bring a friend and join us at Sarah Hayden's house for a casual bonfire on Aug. 19 from 7-9 p.m. Enjoy s'mores and time connecting with other women from Oakwood.
