3 Page 3 Prayer Guide Oakwood Community Church is fueling the love ~ grow ~ serve vision with prayer in Our continued focus on prayer is leading us to include two memory verses along with the prayer guide. The first memory verse is designed to pair with the prayer focus of the month. The second memory verse is the same verse the TreeHouse children are learning in their curriculum. Our hope is to continue to grow in the context of the vision as family members as well as Oakwood family in the body of Christ, further seeking His will. Your July Prayer Guide has specific requests for our Team Tampa XIV going to the Czech Republic to lead an English Camp and for our youth as they go to New York to minister in inner city churches leading VBS. The prayer guide is available at the Information Center and on our website. Nursery help needed We are looking for folks who love the youngest attendees of Oakwood. If you are interested in helping with this ministry on Sunday mornings, please contact Lilliam Vera or call the Church Office. TreeHouse Volunteers needed We have a number of TreeHouse volunteers who give of their time every week to minister to our wonderful children. We like to give this team of workers a break for the summer. Will you give us a hand and teach for a week, a month, or the summer? Please contact Dave Dorsey at or dave@oakwoodfl.org if you are interested in volunteering your time. Opportunities to Serve The Church & World Naomi s Daughters is a ministry for single moms that provides clothing to the moms as well as the children. The Oakwood family, along with others in the community, provides donations of clothing, food and money to keep this ministry moving forward. Your continued donations of new or gently worn clothes and non-perishable foods are greatly appreciated. Donations can be left on the screened area in the back of the gray house on our property. There are bins provided for your donations along with tax deductible forms. Pantry needs: cereal, canned goods, rice, pasta, paper goods. They are also in need of personal care items.

Romance Doesn t Have To Be Expensive Pt 1 How to build intimacy in ways money can't buy Karen O Connor Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! (Psalm 85:10). "I'd rather be with you than anyone," my husband said as we walked hand-in-hand down Ocean Avenue in Carmel, California, one sunny afternoon, visiting one art gallery after another. By the time we returned to our car, we had spent $20,000 in our imaginations. We'd enjoyed hours of fun and culture without once pulling out our credit cards. For 30 years, gallery hopping has been one of our favorite romantic pastimes. But we also find romance in unlikely places. I remember one late afternoon following many hours raking pine needles and pulling weeds in the yard of our cozy weekend cabin. I hobbled into the house exhausted. All I wanted was a warm tub and a bowl of hot soup! Charles stayed behind to put away the gardening tools. I settled into the soapy water, took a deep breath, and relaxed for the first time that day. But not for long. A hard rap on the bathroom window captured my attention. I ran my hand over the steamy windowpane and looked out. There stood Charles smiling at me, his face smudged, his eyes bright. He pulled off his cap and wiped the beads of perspiration that poured down his face. "What's up?" I called. "Not much," he answered. "I miss you, that's all. The sun's almost down," he added gently, pointing toward the mountains, "and I want you here beside me as the day ends." A little shiver ran down my spine. Here was a gesture so simple, a gift so lovely, it took my breath away and brought me down to where I ought to be. I suddenly had a fresh vision of Jesus in my husband's words and in his face. I realized I was being a Martha when it was clearly time to be a Mary. We had each other. We had the Lord. We had this day. We didn't need to go anywhere or spend any money to enjoy each other. I grabbed a towel, slipped into my bathrobe, and dashed out back just in time to enjoy the simple pleasure of watching, arm in arm with my husband, the golden sun slip behind the hills. There we stood, he in grubby overalls and I in a ratty bathrobe feeling more romantic than we had since our honeymoon! And it didn't cost a thing. No time since has meant as much to me. This experience got me thinking about other ways to add a touch of romance to my marriage without spending money. Eating a meal on our front porch together while watching the birds, enjoying our flowerbed, and spending a few minutes in prayer; making a date for a movie and popcorn at home in our bathrobes and slippers. It's easy to slip into bed when the movie ends especially if it's a romantic film! Then I wondered if other couples have their intimate ways of romancing each other on a budget. I decided to find out by asking some of my close friends to share what they do. Here are their unique responses. Reminiscing through the Years Kathi and Al were born and grew up in the same town in Southern California, just a few blocks from one another. "Even our siblings were friends during our childhood," said Kathi. "Because our 'sweetheart relationship' began when we were in our early teens, we have a lot of fond memories of those youthful days and quite a few pictures and souvenirs too." To spark the romance they've shared all these years, Kathi and Al set aside time to go through their albums together and reminisce. "Much of the time we find ourselves marveling that so many years have flown by. Some of our grandchildren are now the age we were then. Other times we relate to what my grandmother used to say in her eighties: 'Inside I'm still 16.' We've decided the best part about our long history together," added Kathi, "is that we will always be 16 to each other." See Part 2 of this article in the next issue of The ACORN.
