"For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says                                     to you, Do not fear; I will help you."  Isaiah 41:13

                           

       One of the most helpful ministries at Oakland Christian Church is our

 Shepherd Ministry.  The purpose of the Shepherd Ministry is to create,

 maintain, and sustain loving and caring relationships within the life of our

 Church Family.  To help achieve this goal, each deacon has been assigned

 families within the Church to "Shepherd."  By "Shepherd" we mean to pray

 with you and for you, keep abreast of illnesses, events, needs in your

 family and assure you that you are indeed a very important part of our

 Church.  

       At the January deacons meeting the deacons are given a Shepherd Ministry list. 

Each deacon then sends out a letter to those families on their Shepherd list to let

them know he/she will be their "Shepherd" for the coming year.  In order

to achieve the above goals, the deacons and church needs the members help to

keep in touch with each other, be it on Sunday morning or during the week.
