Oak Knoll's Website Gets a Fresh Look

We're excited to share that we've refreshed oklutheran.org with a clean, modern design that's easy to navigate. The new layout helps visitors quickly find worship details, ministries, and upcoming events. Check it out today!

Volunteer Spotlight!

Thank you to Fred Moore for hanging our new signs at the main church entrance, and all the other things you do around the church!

Be sure to look up as you enter and exit church to see the signs!

Pentecost Readers Needed!

Do you speak or read a foreign language? We'd love to include you in our Pentecost reading during the May 24 worship service. Please contact Stephen Murray to join in!

ELCA College Scholarship Opportunity

College students who will be attending a Lutheran ELCA college in 2026-2027 and are members of Oak Knoll are encouraged to apply by June 1 for a scholarship funded through earnings from the Oak Knoll Endowment Fund. Reach out to the Church Office for more information.

A CFY Faith Formation Update

Confirmation and Sunday school have wrapped up for the school year.

Confirmation students ended the year with our regular pizza dinner and bagged-skits activity, always a favorite. In Sunday school, kids took part in the annual Bible story bracket challenge, where they vote for their favorite Bible story of the year, and this year's winner was the Wedding at Cana. Of course we wrapped up the morning with ice cream sundaes following worship.

Now our focus shifts to summer camps. In mid-July a group will head to Christikon in Montana, and in August we'll attend Luther Crest in Alexandria.

Thank you to all the parents, volunteers, and church members who supported our youngest members throughout the school year!
