The ladies of the WMU are filling baby bottles with change!  No this isn't a new dietary recommendation :-), this is a fund raiser for the New Hope Pregnancy Center.

For over 21 years New Hope has reached out to the women of Cleveland with pregnancy care, abortion alternatives and counseling.   You can help support them by setting aside your pocket change and they'll even supply the bottle to both collect in and remind you of this great cause.  If you would like to help out & pick up a baby bottle see Ms. Pauline Cartwright.  You can also check out New Hope's website here.

We have a new prayer partnership!  Oak Grove has teamed up with New Birth Baptist Church in
Ames, Iowa to lend prayer support between the two congregations.  New Birth is a four year old church under the leadership of Pastor Robert Knight & his wife Alesia.  They are doing wonderful things to reach their community for Christ and are being blessed for their faithfulness.

Oak Grove is privileged to have New Birth as a prayer partner.

You can check out their website here  and check our website soon for more information and prayer requests.

Oak Grove is now partnering with the Bradley Baptist Association and the Tennessee Baptist Convention to collect food items for Haiti through the "Buckets of Hope" Program.  Our church has committed to sending 5 five gallon buckets full of food items to the earthquake torn country.

You can donate food items or contribute money to the cause by contacting Pastor Powell or Janet Blackwell.

A list of acceptable food items and further info can be found at www.tnbaptist.org.

Our annual Christmas offering to support the International Mission Board was a huge success!  We blew past our annual goal of $400 and ended with a total of $500 to send to support baptist mission work abroad.  Thank you to the WMU for leading the way on this important mission work and to all who contributed.  You can learn more about the work of the IMB and the annual offering at IMB.org.
