September 2025

Welcome to Fall y'all! I love it when the summer busyness settles down into routines again.

I am so excited that Pastor Garrick and his wife Randie are coming to Oak Crest! Randie Garrick wrote the Trekking Through the Testaments curriculum that we are using for Sunday School! Our littlest learners, the Sparkling Sprouts, are studying Genesis and will begin learning about Abraham this month. The older classes are studying through Exodus. We are finishing the 10 plagues this month.

Kid's Worship Nights are back and there will be two opportunities to worship with us! We will review Memory Verses and Catechism Questions, and sing hymns together each night. On Sunday nights we will review the sermon from that morning, and on Wednesday nights we will preview the text for the coming Sunday's sermon. On either night, if students bring any notes they took during the sermon they will get to visit our prize box! We have note taking pages available on the foyer table each Sunday morning, or any paper they want to take notes on is fine. It doesn't have to be neat or organized or detailed, just something to help them engage a little with the sermon each week. 

We also have our big church anniversary celebration on September 28th! Oak Crest Baptist Church has been preaching the Gospel for 40 years!!! I am so thankful and blessed to have been part of this family of believers for 31 of those years. We are planning a special day full of worship and remembering God's faithfulness to the generations of the Oak Crest Family, I hope you will join us!
