Building Momentum - 2018 Stewardship Campaign
What a privilege we have this Sunday, November 12, when we will come before God with our praise, our gratitude, and our stewardship pledges for 2018.
 
Providing your pledge for 2018 will greatly help the Session as they plan for the ministry and mission of the church for the coming year.   Bring your pledge card to worship, mail it to the church, or pledge/give online - http://www.oxfordpresbychurch.org/stewardship
 
Awakened to the gift of life in Christ, this Sunday will be a celebration of all God is doing in our lives and through our church.  Joyfully and prayerfully, we will ask the Lord to guide us into deeper ministry and mission over the coming year.  Thank you for your essential part in building momentum for the hope filled future of Oxford Presbyterian Church!
