This Sunday: God Sees the Heart
As we continue our journey through 1 Samuel, we’ll see that God has rejected Saul as king because Saul lacks a heart that truly seeks Him. Now, God chooses a new king for His people—David. Though David is the youngest of his brothers and wasn’t even considered by his own father, God sees something deeper. He chooses David because of his heart.
This theme—God desiring a heart fully devoted to Him—will echo throughout the lives of the kings who follow in David’s line. God isn’t impressed by appearances or status; He wants our whole heart.
This week, students will be challenged to reflect: Do I have a heart for God? Would God see in me a heart that is fully His?
As always, here are the Parent Connect page and weekly devotional!
Wednesday Night Hangouts
Join us for casual Wednesday night hangouts from 6:30 – 8 p.m. in the youth room! We’ll have games, fun, and time to relax together. If the weather’s nice, we’ll head outside for gaga ball, kickball, frisbee, and maybe a bonfire. If it’s not, we’ll keep the fun going indoors with cards, video games, and more.
We are walking through the book “Radical Like Jesus” by Greg Stier on Wednesday nights, with a challenge each week of how we can live a radical life like Jesus. If you are interested in the book, you can find it here.
Bring a friend and come hang out—we’d love to see you there!
High School Hangouts
Instead of our usual weekly bonfires, we’ll be meeting every other Sunday night this summer for relaxed hangouts at different spots around town.
This Sunday at 6 p.m., join us at Whelan’s Coffee & Ice Cream (163 E Wisconsin Ave, Oconomowoc, WI 53066). We’ll enjoy some ice cream, hang out by the lake, and just have a good time together. I hope to see you there!
(We’re keeping things casual with no set end time. If your student needs a ride home, please let us know.)
Game Night
On Friday, June 20, from 5 - 9 p.m., we will be having a game night at Oakwood. Bring your favorite board games and card games, and come ready to have fun. We will provide snacks and drinks.
New Monthly Calendars
New calendars for the months of July – September are available this Wednesday by the Family Life resource board, so come pick one up!
Join the Worship Team!
We’d love for your students to be involved in either our Sunday morning or Wednesday evening times of worship!
