Greetings Oak Hill Church,
It is good to be a part of God’s family as His Church. It is a humbling reminder to both recognize and realize that each of us have a place to believe and belong together. We are united in the reality that we are sinful, messy people who have been redeemed and cleansed by the radical love of God shown to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. We live in the present of this ongoing and renewing work that the Holy Spirit is performing everyday in each of our lives. We connect and share our lives together in ways that demonstrate humility, gratitude, and community and we live out of the hope that we have because of God’s love and faithfulness to each of us. When we really sit back and think about it, God is extremely generous to us. He is exorbitant in His desire to give us more than we deserve and bless us in ways beyond our imagination. Even when our lives seem to be falling apart or we feel like we are barely hanging on. Even when challenging and difficult circumstances are thrown our way, His promises hold true and His commitment to us remains firm. How good is that!?! It is out of God’s gifts to us that we give. It is out of His generosity that we are invited to be generous. If you were with us this past Sunday, we shared about some exciting updates regarding Overflowing Hope. Overflowing Hope is one of the ministry branches of Oak Hill that seeks to reach out beyond our walls to share the love of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is connecting with our broader community both right in our own neighborhoods and around the world as we connect our lives with others. This year, Oak Hill has committed to allocate four quarterly gifts from our Overflowing Hope fund to support various projects, groups, and organizations that embody this sense of “Going” with the Gospel. Our Going Team has spent time praying about and processing how these gifts can best be used to further and build God’s Kingdom during these unique days and our attention focused on our own immediate context in the Twin Cities for this quarterly gift. For this 2nd Quarter Allocation, we have committed to the following partners:
Connecting Lives in Grace and Truth In-Person Worship
In Christ, Pastor Ben and the Oak Hill Elder Board
