The Jeremiah Journey
This 3-year undertaking is an exploration where we, as a a congregation, listen for what God would have us do. It is a journey of discovery and discernment, of listening to the word of God in a new way that could lead our congregation to move in a new and exciting direction. Join us on May 20th after worship as we continue the journey!

May Bible Study
Please join us on Thursdays at 10am for a time of camaraderie and lively discussion on the word of God. We will be studying scripture from the Jeremiah Journey materials. No experience or knowledge needed...just a willing spirit and an inquiring mind!

SoulFeast
This enlightening Bible study will meet Monday, May 21st, 7:30pm, at the home of Jeff & Laura Reeves. Please join us for a spiritually uplifting experience with great friends!

Food & Clothing Donations Needed
In these tough economic times, the need is greater than ever for food and clothing. We here at Oak Tree collect food in the wooden box in the back of the sanctuary on an ongoing basis. Particularly needed are non-perishable items, such as pasta, peanut butter, canned fish, soups, vegetables and cereal.

We are the major donors for the food pantry at Amandla Crossing Transitional Housing for homeless women and children. We also collect clothing for the FISH Hospitality Clothing Room. This program provides clothing to over 1,600 families in our area. There is a need for any gently used or new clothing, particularly for children and youth. Clothing can be brought to Oak Tree and put in the alcove outside the kitchen

Project Wounded Warrior
Personal hygiene items are desperately needed for our wounded service personnel arriving from the field for medical treatment. These items include: men's underwear & t-shirts (all sizes), women's undergarments & sports bras (all sizes), bath towels, toothbrushes & toothpaste, bars of soap, saniwipes, hand sanitizer, bug spray & hard candy. Please bring your donations to the church and place them in the bin in the narthex. If you have questions, contact Laura Reeves.
