Bearing Witness Sermon Series
We may not be able to solve all the world’s problems, but we are called to bear witness to the injustice and heartache we see around us. During this six week sermon series we will explore how we can speak the truth of Christ to very difficult subjects.
This Sunday we will talk about human trafficking.

Super Bowl Sunday is here! Help us tackle hunger in Rock Hill by bringing non-perishable food items to church on Sunday! Our youth will deliver these items to Project Hope where they will make a big difference for people in our community who struggle to have enough food.
You may place your food items on the table outside of the Sanctuary or under the welcome table in the Gym. Last year we were able to take 1299 items to Project Hope. Let's work together to make it at least 1300 this year!

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Pancake Day, is chiefly marked by feasting and celebration, which traditionally preceded the observance of the Lenten fast. We hope you will join us for a fun and festive pancake feast, complete with jazz music, Mardi Gras beads and more. Please click below to let us know if you plan to attend.

February is Missions Month at Oakland!
|
To coincide with Missions Month, the CBF Beloved Community Photo Exhibit will be on display at OBC. The photographs in this exhibit illustrate the work and reach of CBF Global Missions over a period of time. Some of the photos are older, and some are newer. Together, they paint a portrait of some of the ways CBF seeks to build beloved community over time and around the world. The primary means of supporting this work is the Offering for Global Missions, which allows CBF field personnel to be physically present among the community they serve, whether in the United States or around the globe. As you view these photos, consider your own capacity to support the work of Christ through CBF and the Offering for Global Missions. Our Global Missions goal for this year is $30,000.00.

New Tuesday Night Ladies Bible Study
Begins February 5, 6:15PM - 7:30PM
Gideon: Your Weakness. God’s Strength
by Priscilla Shirer will be the new study for the Tuesday Night Ladies Bible Study. This is a study which focuses on the fact that our "weaknesses don’t stand a chance in the face of God’s overwhelming, almighty power.” Through this study we will be encouraged to recognize our weakness as the key that the Lord gives us to unlock the full experience of His strength in our lives. Instead of ignoring or trying to escape our weaknesses, we will learn to see them as the gifts given specifically and strategically by God. If you've ever felt insufficient, ill-equipped, incompetent, or outnumbered, this study is for you.
Click here
for a promotional video and more information about the study. We would love for you to join us.
