Looking Ahead...

Now Accepting Vendor Applications
The Crescendo Christmas Market and Gracenotes Orchestra Concert is on Saturday, Nov. 28. We're excited to welcome local artisans into our building to share handmade gifts with our community. Vendors will donate 10% of their proceeds back to local organizations, making an impact right here in Lake Country. If you are or you know a local artisan, please invite them to apply for the Crescendo Christmas Market!


Info Meetings
Oakwood is heading back to Esperanza Viva Youth Home in Puebla, Mexico in July 2027. Come learn more about this opportunity to share the love of Jesus with children at the orphanage and their caregivers and one of the info meetings: Oct. 25 or Nov. 1 at either 10:15 a.m. or 11:45 a.m.

Partner Update

Join Don and Kim Gillaspie, who live in a First Nation people group in British Columbia, Canada, in praising God for His creation unfolding in a display of color, the lakes and the creatures, and the solitude of the forests. Praise God for Kim’s position as kitchen help at a school and the connections that are being made. Please pray for the Tsidedel (Redstone) community to be drawn to Jesus and know Him as their Healer, Restorer, and Savior.

Parent's Night Out
Parents can drop off their 3K - 5th graders at Oakwood on Nov. 7 from 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. They'll enjoy pies (pizza and dessert), make a pie-themed craft, and enjoy fall short movies (pillows and blankets welcome). Sign up here.






Coming Soon
The next quarterly Men's Breakfast at Oakwood is Sat., Nov. 7 at 7:30 a.m. Teens and older will enjoy a hot meal, an inspiring message, worship, prayer, and the opportunity to learn more about the ways to grow their faith through Oakwood.
