Prayer & Reflection Service

Sunday, September 27

You are invited to join us this Sunday, September 27, from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm at Oakwood for a time of prayer, singing, and reflection as we seek God’s face in the light of social unrest in our community, our state, and our country. Our hope during this prayer time is that the Lord will bring us to a point of greater awareness of our sin, a deeper empathy for those who are hurting, and an ability to engage with each other and our community with the Good News of Jesus. We hope you will join us.
 

Opportunity to help with a ride

 
We are looking for someone to drive a woman from State College to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA on Monday, September 28 for a 10:45 a.m. doctor appointment. Her car is available to use and she will provide lunch. If you are available to drive, please contact Ann Johnstonbaugh at maj03@hotmail.com or 814-234-2240. Thank you for considering this request.
