Looking Ahead...
Music with Friends
Ladies, listen to live music during the second Gather event of the summer! Women from Oakwood will meet at Nixon Park on Thursday, July 30 at 7 p.m. It's a great time to connect and enjoy summer fun together. Friends are welcome!
Supporting Local Kids
Our partner, Royal Family KIDS Camp, needs volunteers and supplies. First, consider volunteering for Camp, which is Aug. 16-21. Volunteers must be 18-years-old and attend training at Oakwood in July and August. Second, you can purchase supplies from this Amazon wish list by Aug. 1. Thank you for helping children who have experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment, or relational trauma, enjoy a safe and joyful week.

Partner Update
Our partner, Royal Family Kids Camp, has an urgent prayer request: Men are needed to step into the calling God has placed on them to lead and protect His sheep. We are asking for full-time availability so each man can come alongside two campers and help them experience safety, a steady presence, and God’s unconditional love. If you can serve, now is the time to say yes. Training is mandatory. Camp week is Aug. 16-21, 2026. If you have any questions, please email
Last Chance!
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! Pre-K registration is closed, but elementary kids can still enjoy camp. Learn more and register.
Give Life
The Red Cross will be back at Oakwood Church on Monday, Aug. 3 from 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. All donors receive an Amazon gift card via mail. Schedule an appointment.
