Come join us this Fall for
Bible Study!
For four weeks, we will be exploring Paul’s
letter to the Romans using Marvin McMickle’s book,
Hiding God’s Word in Our Hearts as
our guide.
The final session will be on Monday, October 21st from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Church Parlor. No need to purchase a book for these sessions. If you have a Bible, bring it to class. We will also have Bibles for you to use. Pastor Linda will provide handouts to guide discussion. And we will be doing a simple art project too, as usual.
Also, no need to sign up, just come to any or all classes that you can make!
Come explore the “Romans Road,” engage in good conversation, and make art with us this Fall!
New Square Dance Season
Swinging Squares of Rhode Island will again be hosting square dance
classes and club dances at Oaklawn Community Baptist Church from
September 2024 to May 2025. We kick off our dance season on
Monday September 9, 2024 from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. Everyone is
welcome to join us on this “Fun Night.” Fun Night is an introduction to the basics of square dancing, so no prior experience is required, and it is free to newcomers. In fact,
the first two Monday nights are free to newcomers. Singles are welcome, as are couples. We will have coffee and finger foods as we get to know each other on Fun Night. Square dance classes are held Monday nights from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. Our
club dances are usually the third Saturday of the month from 7:30 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.
If you or someone you know would like to learn what square dancing is all about please join us on September 9 or September 16, 2024.
