January 22, 2017 THIRD SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY Montclair Elementary Angels Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson Mandela At Oak Grove, we are committed to serving in the name of Jesus. We believe that our service not only changes us, but changes the world. One of the ways we are helping to impact our community is through our ministry with Montclair Elementary School. By supporting the work of Montclair, we are helping to create brighter futures for the students at the school, their families, and our community. This past December, at Montclair Elementary s Seasonal program, Montclair s principal, Mr. Fred Hammonds, recognized the wonderful support of Oak Grove with the presentation of an angel award. Oak Grove members have been angels for Montclair students and staff in many ways. Each week we provide weekend food bags for 100 students. In the summer we collected school supplies, book bags, and school uniforms to assist with the start of school. Our Warm Up Sunday provided much needed coats and hats for students. At Christmas, we have had the joy of providing Christmas gifts for children. Our UMW has hosted teacher appreciation lunches and served as readers in classrooms. Last school year our Covenant Kids program provided an after school club where students could have fun and learn more about God. Thank you Oak Grove for investing in Montclair Elementary and in the education of these special students. You truly are God s angels at work! At Oak Grove, we are committed to serving in the name of Jesus. We believe that our service not only Montclair Angel Award changes us, but changes the world. One of the ways we are helping to impact our community is through our ministry with Montclair Elementary School. By supporting the work of Montclair, we are helping to create brighter futures for the students at the school, their families, and our community.
