a note from our Pastor...

 

As your pastor, I want to share some of the ways, I am thankful for Oak Forest United Methodist Church.

1) We have a community of faithful believers who accept people for who they are and challenge them to become better Disciples of Christ

2) We have fun! Whether it's painting a Nativity Scene, cutting up catfish, or performing, Oak Forest is a place that gives us an opportunity to express our creative sides.

3) We serve so many people. Shepherd's Hope, our free medical clinic continues to help international students, unemployed folks, senior citizens, and new immigrants. Through this ministry, we are fighting diabetes, high blood pressure, sexually transmitted diseases, and the flu.

6) We are a worshiping community that prays together, sings together and serves together.

7) Since 1943 Oak Forest has been offering Christ and serving our neighbors. We still believe the words inscribed on the cornerstone of our building : Oak Forest is dedicated "to the service of men (and women) and the glory of God."

 

Please pray with me, "Lord, how are you calling me to serve your church, Oak Forest, in 2011?  In what ways are you calling me to commit my time, my talent, my money, and myself?”

I'll see you in church this Sunday,

Russ
