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

January 2019

Dear Members and Friends of Oak Lawn Church:

New Year’s blessings to you and yours!

May grace and peace abound in your life in the year ahead.

It might seem ironic that we enter a new year in the height of the winter season, a season of dormancy, drab landscapes, and empty fields.

The view outside doesn’t quite represent the promise and fresh slate of a new year, does it?

Thankfully we can shake off the cold of January and ignite within ourselves a desire to create positive changes in the upcoming months, with God’s help and by asking for God’s guidance each new day.

Whatever resolutions you may be considering—or have even made already—remember that this flip of the calendar’s pages has the potential to be even greater for you.

In Christ, we have been made into a new creation and can experience new joys every morning through the power of God’s word and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The author of Hebrews writes, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one an- other, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (10:24-25)

May 2019 be a great year for all as we encourage one another in the most holy faith.

Gracefully Yours,

Pastor Barbara
