Grove

June 10, 2018

The completion of the upper level of the building will bring some changes in the location of offices and Sunday School classrooms. The changes will begin to take place in July. Sandee Edmondson, our receptionist, will move to the Portico Welcome Center to greet guests as they enter our building. Amy, Diane, Dale, Glenn, Joseph, and Rachel will move upstairs to the new office suite under construction! The Oak Grove Christian School will move its offices into the soon-to-be-renovated existing church offices, using the greeting area, the office behind the greeting area, Dale’s office, and Joseph’s office. The office occupied by Diane will become the acolyte room. The office occupied by Amy will become a worship storage room. The current Senior Pastor’s office will become a church conference room for groups of 6 or fewer. The current acolyte room will become a vestry (robing room) for clergy and communion servers. Several adult Sunday School classes will relocate to new rooms, too. The Christian Fellowship, Discoverers, and Renn classes will move to the new wing. Sunday Download will move to the first floor of the children’s wing. New Hope and Go Forth will stay in their current location, near their children. The new upper level also includes a larger prayer room and a boardroom for meetings of 20 or fewer people. The classrooms vacated by adult classes on the children’s wings will receive new flooring and paint and become home to children’s rooms for the church. The current office space of Oak Grove Children’s School will be divided between facilities management storage (ceiling tiles, carpet tiles, light bulbs, etc.) in the director’s office and storage for United Methodist Men in the front office of the Christian School. The print room will move to the new office work area, and the current room used for printing will become a children’s Sunday School resource room. Offices of church employees will be in transition July 2-3, and 5-6. Movers will be assisting with relocating the offices. The office will remain open, though in transition. Christian Fellowship, Renn, and Discoverers will move to their new classrooms on July 8. Sunday Download will move on July 15. The Oak Grove Christian School will move into its new office space on July 16. The building committee reports that its next projects will include renovation of the sacristy, acolyte room, and children’s classrooms. These projects are scheduled for completion by the end of 2018. Thank you to our building committee for its excellent management of the building program.

Parents and children: It's time for our annual Read to Feed program! Stop by the welcome desk in the Portico or visit us in the new library to sign up. This is one of Oak Grove’s annual mission projects, and it benefits Heifer International, an organization dedicated to ending hunger by providing animals to people around the world, training them, and passing on the benefit to others. Your child obtains sponsors for their reading and the money goes toward providing needy people with the means to support themselves and their communities. Come by today, and let's get started on summer reading!
