Time to get “Realz!”
Our July: Summer of Fun is officially over and that can only mean one thing—Time to get “Realz!”
This year we’ve been concentrating on the theme “Be Loved, Check Yourself, Love, Repeat.” If we can get this concept down there is nothing that we cannot overcome or accomplish. Over the last few months we took a look at:
*Being Loved (by self, in relationships, in community, and in the world)
*Checking Yourself (your connections, control, concerns, and complaining)
*Love (yourself, your relationships, your community, and your world)
*And Repeat (sustain)
As we reenter into our school year and start to transition out of summer we will also reenter into Being Loved, Checking Yourself, Love, and Repeat. Over the next couple months we will focus on Conflict, Confrontation, Resolution, and Sustaining.
August. Be Loved: Conflict
- Inner Conflict. (Matt. 19:16-28)
- Relational Conflict (Matt. 5:23-26)
- Community Conflict (Matt. 18:15-19)
- Conflict With the World (Romans 12:9-21)
September. Check Yourself: Confrontation
- Power (Control)
- Respect (Ego)
- Loyalty
- Integrity
- Health
October. Love: Resolution
- Surrender
- Stabilize
- Harmony
- Peace
November. Repeat: Sustain
- Denial -> Acceptance
- Anger -> Acceptance
- Bargaining -> Acceptance
- Depression -> Acceptance
If you have any stories, thoughts, or ideas that you think would be beneficial for any of the upcoming weeks or months please feel free to email me at justin@oasisakron.org. It’s always great to get feedback and thoughts from you all; and exciting when we’re able to incorporate more of you into our events. However; Judy, I wasn’t able to get turning the sanctuary into a giant slip and slide approved. Love the spirit, though. 😉
And lastly, this Wednesday will be a typical outreach night format. Doors open at 4, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow. Hope to see you all out!

It’s a Cookout!
Is it just me or does summer seem to be flying past!? Before we know it we will be back into the school year and counting down the days until next summer. That is why we are trying to squeeze in as much FUN as possible in our “July: Summer of Fun!”
This Wednesday we will be closing out our “July: Summer of Fun” with a cookout. There will grilling, ladder ball, four-square, and much, much more to experience. Doors will open at 4 and there will be basketball until 5:15. At 5:15 we will all move outside for some cookout goodness. We will remain outside until the end of our Outreach Night experience.
Hope to see you all Wednesday!

The Reinberger Foundation has once again had the generosity of spirit to grant OASIS $5000 for The Way program. The Way is a commitment that youth make to finish their education, to continue their schooling and training after high school, and to seek and maintain employment. Thanks to the Reinbergers for the way they help to change the world by helping OASIS youth to become dependent on God and independent in the world.
