The Skit Guys - What To Do With An Hour

Next Sermon for November 5th

Dear Oak Grove Family,

One of the things that has impressed me about Oak Grove is your commitment to prayer. Each week throughout this series we are focusing on praying for a child in a specific way. I have loved hearing stories about the children you have felt called to pray for – from neighborhood children to the children in Israel and Gaza, to praying for our youth. It is wonderful to hear your commitment to praying for the next generation.  

This past Sunday we talked about the difference prayer can make in a child’s life, especially the prayers of a faith community over the course of a child’s life. It is a commitment we renew every time we baptize an infant or child as both the parents and the faith community are taking responsibility for the faith formation of the child until they are confirmed. Part of this responsibility is praying for the child’s faith, but also that they are resilient and prayerfully discern the work God is preparing them to do as they grow into adults.

This week we are invited to pray for a child that God has placed on our heart.

This Sunday is our last opportunity to paint a prayer rock for our Freedom Rocks gathering space. If you haven’t painted a rock, I encourage you to paint one this week!

Peace & Blessings,



Pastor Amanda

Hello, Dear Church -

We are continuing to develop and grow our young adult ministry here at Oak Grove, for those who are post high school to forty. In that spirit, we are launching a Sunday School class headed up by a young adult favorite, Mary Knight! We will begin this Sunday (November 5th) during the Sunday School hour in room 234! 

The O. G.’s will continue to meet every other Tuesday night, with November dates being 11/14 and 11/28. We will meet in The Lounge upstairs from 6:30-8pm with childcare provided. 

As always, if you have any questions or ideas please let me know! I am so grateful for the church’s investment in our young adults. Thanks be to God for this budding ministry!. 

Blessings,

Pastor Britney

A huge shout out to the Worship Ministry Team and the Trustees as they prepare Oak Grove’s Freedom Rocks! gathering space. We look forward to moving the prayer rocks created during the Prayer Rocks sermon series to our new gathering space on Sunday, November 12 after 11am worship. If you haven’t made a prayer rock, it isn’t too late – the prayer rocks and the supplies to make them will remain out until November 12^th.
