GREAT OAKS UPDATE · October 20, 2009

Greetings!

Below you'll find the most recent info on our Great Oaks Planning Meeting, Villages, and Sunday Service.

Please note that the "Reach" event scheduled for Saturday has been postponed. We discovered some things that need to be done before we can begin the home makeover we are planning. More info soon.

Take time to check out our online Great Oaks Calendar. Bookmark the calendar so you can go there to get updated regularly on what's coming up.

Finally, a few weeks ago we baptized Anne Oxendine. In this update we want to celebrate that wonderful occasion with some photos.

Joy!
Paul

Anne's Baptism
Sunday, September 20, 2009


Anne's Baptism


Next Sunday Service - November 1
We continue to meet the 1st, 3rd & 5th Sundays of the month

Our Sunday Services have been powerful times of worship and digging into God's Word. These are meetings that will enrich your life. We hope everyone can join us. These times when all Villages  join together are very important. They also provide a perfect place for newcomers and guests to come check out the Great Oaks vision.

On November 1 our Sunday Service will be at Kensington Community Church in Room 114 (on the first floor
). See the Great Oaks Calendar for dates and locations for services through the end of the year.

On November 1 our worship will be led by our worship band, and Pastor Paul will continue our series on our Great Oaks Values (Grounded-Growing-Giving). This will be the second of three sermons on different aspects of "giving". We'll discuss our call at Great Oaks to "freely give" the life, healing, and freedom of God's Kingdom which we have "freely received".
