Oakwood Needs Your thoughts!
Posted: March 7, 2012 Filed under: Adult Ministries, Christian Education, Empty Nesters, Men's Ministry, Oakwood Family, Small Groups Ministry, TnT - Twenties and Thirties Ministry, Women's Ministry Leave a comment »At Oakwood, our weekly bulletin says, “Come, Grow, Serve.” We’d like to collect some information on how we can better meet and exceed your needs related to “Grow.” Probably one of the most well-known verses related to this topic comes from Romans 12:2, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Discipleship is one key way by which we are transformed into His likeness to reflect His glory and follow His will.
Please click here to complete this survey. Just a few minutes will give us insight into how we can better serve you in this way and invite you to help us serve the rest of Oakwood. Should you have any questions, please contact Todd Sazdoff at (952) 200-2590 or sazdoff@gmail.com.
