New Adult Sunday School Class
February 2
"What We Believe" - Beginning Sunday, February 2, Pastor Dan will be teaching a Sunday school class for all adults called "What We Believe." This class will meet in the sanctuary from 10:00 am until 10:45 am on Sundays and will cover the basic teachings of our church and denomination. We will be looking at what the Bible says about itself and its authority; about who Jesus is and what He has done for us; about God's sovereignty over all of life, especially our salvation; about the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper; etc. This class will be especially helpful to those who are relatively new to Oakwood, but also as a "refresher course" for those who have been at Oakwood long-term. All are welcome!
