Our weekly bulletin + connection point
Here's a look at the week ahead... and beyond!
Social Media Fast
July 12 - Aug. 1Summer naturally has a different rhythm. The calendar slows, routines loosen, and many of us instinctively unplug from some things so we can more deeply plug into others. Next month at Oakwood, we want to maximize that rhythm with intention. Reconnect is a three-week journey designed to help us deepen our connection with God, one another, and the purpose God has placed on our lives. As part of this series, our whole church will participate in a 21-day social media fast as a way to clear space from something that often fuels distraction, outrage, and isolation. We’ll provide a simple guide to help you use this time well: practices to connect more intentionally with God, prompts for meaningful conversations with others, and reflections to help you rediscover the purpose God has given you. So, stay tuned for more details and make plans now to take a break from social media in July!
Looking Ahead...
What's Your Hobby?
Do you have a hobby or talent that could be shared during our Summer Picnic on Aug. 30? You could teach people wood working, showcase a dog agility show, or help people relax by painting. Whatever it may be, share with us in this form your hobby and we'll help turn it into an experience for our picnic guests.
Sunday, July 5
In observance of the Independence Day holiday, we will have one worship service at 9 a.m. Kids and students are invited to worship with their families. Kids and Student Ministries will resume on July 12. Childcare is available for kids 4 and younger.

Partner Update
Please pray for God to raise up more camp counselors and other staff for Royal Family Kids Camp, which is Aug. 17-21. There are many children from hard places that are waiting to have the opportunity to be given a week of unconditional love, hope, and safety at camp. Praise God for doing mighty things as His people trust Him!
Kids Summer Day Camp
Sign up the kids in your life to explore the nature of God during Oakwood's Kids Summer Day Camp on July 29. They'll enjoy a day full of fun activities, food, and Jesus! Register by July 1 to choose specials. You can register after July 1, but kids will be placed in specials based on availability. Learn more and register.
New to Oakwood?
You're invited to the Newcomers' Reception on July 19! Enjoy refreshments while meeting some our staff and elders in the Library (lower level) between worship services. We hope to see you there.
Authentic Faith
We've have a group for 18-28-year-olds to connect with Jesus, one another, and the mission of His church. Our Young Adults Group meets Sunday nights from 6 - 8:30 p.m. at Chris and Aubrey Adams' home (the address is in our directory or email Chris).
