At the first Sunday Morning Communion Service this year, a Prayer of Dedication was part of the worship, expressing our desire to serve our Father God, because of all he has done for us through the Lord Jesus Christ
So we mark the beginning of this Anniversary year, grateful to God for all his grace and faithfulness to us, thinking of the seventy-five years of the church here in Oakwood We have been working towards this time by looking at how we can become a mission centred church, and we are dedicated to fulfilling our role in making disciples of the Lord Jesus, as we look to the future Everyone who was present on Sunday 17 January received a commemorative Church Anniversary pen, and the pastor and deacons will make sure everyone in the church family can have their own reminder too Please pray that the Lord will continue to lead us on, that the reality of Jesus will be greater and greater among us, and that others will meet him for themselves Pray too about your own life in the Lord Jesus, and consider whether you have obeyed him in baptism, and how you can serve him as a member of this church Gordon J.
