Hello Fellow Oakwood Families!
Advent is a season of preparation and reflection that is celebrated for four weeks leading up to Christmas. How will you slow down and prepare for the true meaning of Christmas?
If you are looking for ways, please check out the Family Life Resource Board for a free Family Advent Devotion set of cards or by our annual Mobile Christmas Library to borrow a Christmas book, DVD, or CD.
Sunday, Dec. 14
We are continuing our Christmas unit in Matthew 1 & Luke 1 when the angels spoke to Mary and Joseph about choosing them to be Jesus’ earthly parents.
Kids are also working on a Mini-Christmas-Pageant to share with everyone on Sunday, Dec. 21 during both services. Toddlers – preschoolers will be our “costumed” kids, kindergarten – 5th graders will be our choir, and a few brave 4th and 5th graders are also reading as narrators. Please consider allowing your child to stay until about 10:50 a.m. this day so they can perform both services. No additional practices or special costumes are needed.
Offering Project | Miss Shirley’s Mission Trip to Egypt
