Hello, Oak Chapel Friends,
It’s Fair Time! If you have not yet signed up to help with parking cars, please contact Christy Rickard (330-439-3201) as some help is still needed. Consider wearing your church T-shirt to the Fair. It’s a great way to show that great things are happening at Oak Chapel UMC and that you are proud to be part of this faith community. Be safe as you “do” the Fair this week. I look forward to seeing all of you!
This Sunday we resume our Fall/Winter/Spring worship schedule with one service at 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary. During this first combined worship service of the season we will honor the Clevidence Family as they prepare to move to Columbus. Sunday also marks the final “Gospel in Disney” message which will feature a clip from the movie “Frozen,” based on 1 John 4: 7- 21.
Below you will find announcements and other important information about upcoming events. Please review and mark your calendars accordingly.

We will have a fellowship meal after the service. The church is providing sloppy joes. Please bring a friend (or two or more!) and a dish to share. You won’t want to miss it!
