Weekend of August 9
Final reminder: outdoor baptisms and brunch
Brunch, baptisms, and the great outdoors—what could be better? Join us for a special morning of celebration, fellowship, and great food as we gather to celebrate what God is doing in the lives of those being baptized. Please note: This event will not be held at Oltman. Instead, we’ll meet on August 16 at The Borner Farm in Hastings. Bring a lawn chair, sign up to bring a dish, and enjoy a memorable morning with your church family. This is the final week to register, so don’t wait—sign up here today!

Are you interested in baptism?
One of the greatest joys in the life of our church is celebrating baptisms. On August 16, we’ll gather outdoors to hear stories of God’s grace and celebrate as believers publicly declare their faith in Jesus. If you’ve been thinking about baptism or have questions about what it is and why it matters, we’d love to connect with you. Email Henry Michael at henrymw@oakscg.church to learn more and explore whether baptism is your next step.
Middle and high schoolers: See you at the farm!
Summer is better with people who know you, encourage you, and point you to Jesus. We’ve missed you, and chances are your friends have missed you, too. Join us for one great summer night at the Vierling Farm! Look forward to games, worship with Ariel, a message from Philip Vierling, a bonfire, and plenty of time to connect. Bring a chair, a yard game, and a friend. All middle and high schoolers are welcome.Sunday, August 9 at 6:30 pm. Questions? Email Joe O’Kane, jokane@oakscg.church.
