Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church

Welcome to Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church

At Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church, we support people as they seek to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are an American Baptist Church in partnerships with American Baptist Churches of Rhode Island and American Baptist Churches, USA. We are ecumenically minded and seek opportunities for worship and service with other community churches.

Our church welcomes diverse families. We provide for Christian Education (Sunday School) for school aged children, as well as a nursery for pre-school children during worship services.

A very important part of our worship at Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church is our music program. We have been blessed with a strong music ministry consisting of a Sanctuary Choir, Hand bell Choir, two organists, and many musically talented members who readily share their gifts during the worship services throughout the year.

At the conclusion of worship every Sunday all are invited to the fellowship hall to join in conversation and refreshments.

Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church is located at 229 Wilbur Avenue in Cranston. We warmly invite you to worship with us on a Sunday morning at 9:30 am. Until then, may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ richly bless you!

A Message From Pastor Barbara

November 2018

Dear Friends in Christ,

I can hardly believe we are in the month of November already.

It’s the perfect time to count our many blessings, especially with Thanksgiving not too far away.

I am thankful you are a part of Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church. We can’t do it without you!

As Psalm 107:21-22 (NLT) reads, “Let them praise the Lord for His great love and for the wonderful things He has done for them. Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing.”

Emerson once said that if the stars came out only once a year, everybody would stay up all night to behold them. We see the stars so often that we don’t always think to look up and enjoy their beauty. We have grown accustomed to them as we sometimes do our blessings.

Let’s never lose the wonder of what God has done and is doing for us!

I would like to encourage you to worship with us each Sunday in November and to join us for this year’s Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service hosted by the Cranston Clergy.

This is a wonderful service where we will gather as a community of faith to express our gratitude to God as we consider the many gifts we have received this year.

The service will be held on November 18 at 3:00p.m. at Holy Apostles Church, 800 Pippin Orchard Road, Cranston.

I Chronicles 16:34 “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”

Let’s give thanks together!

With Gratitude,

Pastor Barbara
