  Flower Delivery Ministry
 The Flower Delivery Ministry takes lilies
 and poinsettias at Easter and Christmas to the                Our volunteers share why they enjoy
 homebound members of our church family.                         being involved in this ministry:
                                                  Bull and Lynda Wallace:
                                                  My wife, Lynda and I have been delivering
                                                  Easter lilies and poinsettias for over 10 years,
                                                  and we look forward to each new season.
                                                  Sometimes we visit a familiar face, but mostly
                                                  we are headed to visit someone who is not
                                                  familiar to us. The one thing that every visit has
                                                  in common is that we always get more from
                                                  the small time spent than does the person we
                                                  drop in on. We receive the thanks, but we are
                                                  the ones who benefit the most.
                                                                          Heather Kleider-Offutt:
                                                                          The flower delivery ministry is an easy way to reach out
                                                                          to people who may not otherwise feel a sense of

                                                                          to someone is a simple way for us to show God’s love.

       We believe that our lives are held within the encircling love of God,
       who knows our names and recognizes our deepest needs.
       We believe that Christ is the Divine Son of the living God,
       and that His grace is like living waters that can never be exhausted.
       We believe in the birthing, renewing, enabling Spirit of God,
       who yearns over our welfare as a mother yearns for her child.
       We believe that God is in the arid desert as well as in green pastures,
       and that God abides with us in hard times and good times.
       We believe that our journey has a purpose and a destination,
       and that our path leads to a glory we cannot yet imagine.
       We believe that in the church we are fellow pilgrims on the road,
       and that we are called to love one another as God loves us.
       This is our faith, and we are humbled to profess Jesus the Christ. Amen.

      Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done

      from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

       The sacrament of communion is a sign and means of receiving God's grace. Therefore communion,
       like grace itself, is available to all people without regard to age, church membership status, relationship
       to Oak Grove, or denominational affiliation. The table belongs to God, so all are welcome. There is a
       mobile station for worshipers who prefer to be served in their seats. If you prefer gluten-free elements,
       please go to the station to the left of the pulpit. You are always welcome to choose any station by simply
       walking to the station of your choice. Once you receive the bread, please dip it in the grape juice in the
       chalice. In our tradition worshipers do not drink from the chalice. After receiving communion you may
       kneel at the chancel to pray or return to your seat.
