Our weekly bulletin + connection point
Here's a look at the week ahead... and beyond!
Family Month
Aug. 9 - Sept. 6Oakwood will celebrate Family Month beginning Sunday, Aug. 9 - Sunday, Sept. 6. We'll have one service at 9 a.m. with childcare available for kids 4 and younger. Kids and students are invited to worship with their families. This not only gives our generous volunteers a break, but also allows us to model worship to the next generation. We hope to see you each Sunday at 9!
Looking Ahead...
Fun for Everyone
Each year we look forward to hosting our community during the Summer Picnic. We invite them to worship with us, share a meal, and enjoy summer activities. We encourage you to pray about how you can participate in the Summer Picnic, then visit this link to explore the opportunities to volunteer for the picnic and the list of donation items needed. We appreciate your support!
Caring for Congo
We are blessing one of our Global Partners in the Democratic Republic of Congo with a donation drive! Search your home for gently-used items like shoes, girls dresses, flat sheets, and more. You can also purchase items off an Amazon wish list. Place donations in the bins by the exit doors at Oakwood by Sept. 6.

Partner Update
Praise God that the training series on the “Five Traits of a Disciplemaker” that Brad and Katy Jonswold of Navigators taught with 18 students in Trinidad went well. Please pray that the seeds planted will take deep root and bear fruit in Trinidad and beyond. Pray that the local Navigator staff will be equipped as they follow up with them. Pray for Brad and Katy as they continue to resource and train disciplemakers across the US and internationally.
