Oak Hill has been invited once again to share in an Ash Wednesday service with our friends at Compton Heights Christian Church on Ash Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. This will be an online service. The Zoom login information is given below.
Also: if you should wish to participate during the service in the traditional Ash Wednesday imposition of ashes on forehead or hand, here is a link to a video that gives instructions on how to prepare ashes for this purpose: https://youtu.be/Hq3zZyOvCbo. It is the same video, prepared by Madison Peterson, that was made available for Ash Wednesday last year. We are grateful to Madison and to Compton Heights for this help.

The Touchy Topics book club will meet on Thursday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m.
on Zoom. Normally to club meets the first Wednesday of the month, but for March, the first Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, so the meeting has been moved back a day. The book selected is Assata: An Autobiography, by Assata Shakur. The book traces Shakur’s early childhood to her current status as a political refugee in Cuba. For April, the book is Heartland:
A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country in the World, by Sarah Smarsh. This book, which focuses on cycles of poverty and social class in Kansas, was a National Book Award finalist for nonfiction in 2018.

Next Sunday, March 6, is the First Sunday of Lent. We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper (Communion).
Back to Sunday School
We kick off our fall Intergenerational Sunday School class on Sept. 19th. Join us in person, masked and distanced, in the large assembly room at church on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. as we continue our study on Compassion. Children and Adults will discuss together stories of compassion in scripture. There will be art. There will be music. There will be lots to talk about!
See you on Sundays!
Sunday School materials
Here’s where we are posting coloring pages and other materials for this summer’s Intergenerational Sunday School Class on Compassion from Illustrated Ministry.
Stations of the Cross Community Art Project
We are thrilled to announce our new community art project for the Easter season. We are going to create our own Stations of the Cross display.
The Way of the Cross has long been a way for Christians to join Jesus on the journey through Jerusalem and beyond. We are inviting you to pick one of the traditional stations and paint it as you might imagine it. To share with our community- both in person and online. (We’ll be making a video of the art to use as part of a short virtual prayer service for Good Friday)
Pastor Erin has put together a resource to help you prepare (download below), that includes some history, the list of stations, and lots of interpretations from all over the world that are accessible online. Please read through those materials first, and then click here to sign up to paint one of the stations. We’re hoping to have all of the art dropped off at church by March 21.
Touchy Topics Book Group 2021
Our Touchy Topics Book and Discussion Group have selected their readings for 2021. We meet on the first Wednesday of most months (not exception for Holy Week in April) at 7:30 p.m. Right now we are meeting on Zoom. Pick up a copy of one of these books from your library or local book store, and join us!
