First Wednesdays at Oakland, September 2, 5:30PM
No two First Wednesdays are exactly alike. Some months we'll worship. Some months we'll learn. Some months we'll serve. Whatever the program, you'll always find a welcoming place to connect and grow. Join us for dinner featuring spaghetti and meaty Sauce (served separately), broccoli, garlic bread, full salad bar, and brownies. Chicken nuggets are available for children. Following dinner, we will have a Zoom conversation with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Field Personnel, Scarlette Jasper.

Intergenerational Weekend Mission Experience, October 2-5
Join us for a long weekend as we serve alongside CBF Field Personnel, Marc and Kim Wyatt in Raleigh, NC. During our time, we will be learning about ourselves and our neighbors, participating in the ministry of hospitality, and living into Jesus’ call to love the stranger and serve the least of these. This experience is much more educational and experiential than it is labor intensive and having previously taken two other groups to serve alongside the Wyats, I (Leigh) can promise you that your eyes and heart will be opened in all the best ways.
We will depart from Oakland at 4PM on Friday, October 2 and return around 4PM on Monday, October 5. The cost is $225 per person which includes all meals and lodging. A deposit of $50 per person is required to sign up. This trip is open to people of all ages, but anyone under 15 must have a parent or guardian accompany them. Contact Leigh Reynolds (lreynolds@oaklandchurch.com) if you have any questions.
