MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES:

Needed: National Conference delegates!  We are in need of members of Oakdale who would be interested in attending this year’s Free Church National Conference as delegates.  The conference dates are June 27-29 and it will be held in Minneapolis.  If you are interested or would like more information please talk with Pastor Clint or Gene Petersen.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS:  Reflecting on the Cross.

Come and experience Peter Jensen’s observation:  “We never move on from the cross, only into a more profound understanding of it.”  The class will explore such topics as the centrality of the cross in the NT, the meaning of the cross as the symbol of Christianity, the theology of the cross, the offense of the cross, the power of the cross, and cross-centered living.  Join us in reflecting, in the words of John Stott, on “that great and most glorious of all subjects—the cross of Christ.”

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!  The dedication of our new building is planned for the weekend of June 9-10^th.  Please be thinking of relatives or past members/friends of Oakdale who may like to know about this weekend of celebration and let them know these dates.
