Hello Fellow Oakwood Families!
Before we get to all the fun stuff coming up, please take a minute (seriously that is all it will take) to update your child's Annual Consent Form.
Wednesday, Sept. 3
While many of your kids will just be starting school, the Kids Ministry team will be joining other Oakwood volunteers for a night of training and preparing for our fall programs. Come back Sept. 10 for the Wednesday Night Community fall kick off as we continue our adventure with True North. Check out the Family Life Facebook page for some fun pictures of what True North Camp looked like.
Your prayers would be appreciated as we enter this new program year. Specifically, for:
- The volunteers who pour into the kids.
- The kids to have fun, form relationships, and grow in love with Jesus.
- Some new volunteers to step in and help with:
- Sunday Nursery (weekly or biweekly)
- Sunday Preschool (weekly or biweekly)
- Wednesday Night Preschool (weekly until Nov. 19)
Connect with Pastor Caleb or Sarah Burbey if you are interested in volunteering.
Sunday, Sept. 7
Programming resumes during the 9 a.m. worship service. Here are the classrooms for fall:
- Nursery | Up to 18 months
- Toddlers | 18 months – 3 years old
- Preschool | 3k & 4k (must be potty trained, 3 by September 1, and able to sit for lessons and follow simple instructions)
- Kindergarten & 1st Grade
- 2nd & 3rd Grade
- 4th & 5th Grade
Volunteers are excited to engage your kids in The Bible Basics and The Gospel Project.
Kids will begin the fall in the Book of Kings learning about the kingdoms dividing over how many gods there are – we will see that there is only one true God. Check out the resources on our website to continue engaging your kids in Biblical Foundations.
Offering Project
The kids offering project from September - November will go toward Operation Christmas Child. Let’s see if kids can collect $400 to cover shipping 40 shoeboxes filled with goodies and The Good News to kids all over the world.
The Packing Party will be Wednesday, Nov. 19 from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
