Sunday Morning Programming
This Sunday is our last Sunday of Oakwood Student Ministry programming for this calendar year. We will be wrapping up our journey through “The Thread” as we reach the final Book of the Bible—Revelation. Our main scripture this week is Revelation 21:1-8. Our students will be encouraged that one-day God will make all things new. Even though we live in a broken world now, it is not always going to be that way. We know the end of the story, and God wins! I would encourage you to have a conversation with your students this week about why this matters and how it affects them now to know that God has won in the end.
As always, you can find a parent letter here for more information.
Update: Programming will resume on Sunday, Jan. 5. In the New Year, Student Ministry will align with Kids Ministry in using The Gospel Project curriculum (student edition). This three-year journey takes students through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
What I love about this curriculum is its intentionality—it doesn’t just cover the familiar stories but takes the time to explore accounts and biblical figures often overlooked in typical studies. It’s a great opportunity for our students to see how all of Scripture points to Jesus.
Wednesday Night Community
Wednesday Night Community is finished for the calendar year. We will resume meeting after the New Year on Jan. 15.
Christmas Eve
Next Tuesday, Dec. 24 at 3 and 5 p.m., Oakwood is hosting Christmas Eve service. I would encourage you and your student(s) to attend and celebrate the birth of our Savior! It's going to be a wonderful time!
Middle School Gatherings
The next middle school gathering at the Feder’s is happening Friday, Jan. 3, from 6:30 - 8 p.m.This is a great opportunity for our middle school students to build relationships, have fun, and ask great spiritual questions. Food and snacks will be provided. RSVP to me, or Pat or Jeanene Feder so we know how much pizza to have.
Districts
If your student is signed up to attend the Districts Youth Conference, it’s now only a month away! Keep an eye on your inbox for more updates from me as the date approaches, including important details about travel plans and more.
