This Sunday is the last day to bring your plastic grocery bags.
There are large cardboard boxes around the church waiting to be filled with plastic bags.

Constitution & Bylaws
Upcoming Changes
Hello Oakland Baptist Church Members,
At the Sunday afternoon Church Business Meeting on January 13th, an announcement will be made concerning revisions to the Constitution and Bylaws. This announcement – with subsequent discussion (January 16) and vote (January 20) – will follow the process specified in the Constitution. However, since the documents, in total, are several pages long, we have made copies available ahead of time. Digital copies of the revised Constitution and Bylaws and of a Redline version of the document may be viewed and/or printed by clicking on the links for each. Printed copies are available, if needed, at the church office.
The Constitution and Bylaws revisions were endorsed by the Fellowship of Deacons on November 18. A Church vote is required for approval of the Constitution and Bylaws revisions.
Happy New Year and good reading!
Mack Bailey, 2018 Chair
