Christmas Time is Here!

Greetings!

As we continue to count down the days until Christmas, there’s one more stop to look forward to on the OASIS 2015 journey— our Christmas Celebration on Wednesday December 16th!

Tonight we will have our annual OASIS Christmas Celebration. This event is open to all OASIS participants and their children. NOTE: We encourage participants with children to bring their little ones; however, we will not be able to provide rides to or from OASIS. We ask that volunteers not transport small children and that participants make arrangements for their own rides. This is the season of giving and cheer and in respects to the loving attitude that couples the holidays we want to make sure that everyone remains safe!

Please join us tonight as we play together, hand out gifts to our youth, sing Christmas favorites, light up OASIS with candles, and ultimately remember the birth of our Lord for whom we have a reason to spread cheer and blessings!

See you all tonight!

Greetings to all!

Tags : Christmas

Greetings to all!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend filled with friends and family and loved ones! I, personally, spent my Thanksgiving in Nashville visiting some of my closest friends. It was a time filled with sharing memories over meals, filling days with play and companionship, and being present with one another. It’s a wonderful thing, the bond we share with close friends and family, that even when you spend the majority of the year apart you can always pick up right where you left off. It’s a level of intimacy I wouldn’t trade for the world.

As we enter into this season of Advent and anticipation of the arrival of our Lord, let it be an anticipation that is namely in ceremony. For we do not have to wait for Christ to arrive because he is already with us, among us, and a part of us.

We spent the month of November focusing on being grateful in every circumstance. We learned that we can find hope in times of grief, we can be light bearers in times of fortune, and we can gain rest in times of stillness. Once we fully comprehend that we take the love and light of Christ with us wherever we go and in every circumstance we face, it isn’t a matter of waiting for Christ to show up, but finding peace in the realization that he has always been with us. It is an impenetrable bond that we share with our creator. So as we celebrate Jesus’ birth and his arrival in the earth let it not be a motion of picking up from time spent apart, but celebrating a thriving life in which Christ is continually a part.

This Wednesday we will meet at our usual times. Doors opening at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow. Come hang out with us as we welcome back Dominic the donkey for another year of seasonal enjoyment and prepare our hearts and minds for the greatest gift ever given to mankind.

Dec. 9 will be our Family Christmas Celebration. Youth will have the opportunity to pick out gifts for their families and have them wrapped. We will definitely be in need of help with wrapping gifts and having your general presence during the event.

Dec. 16 is our OASIS Christmas Party. Please join us as we celebrate Christmas with our OASIS family. This night will be open to all Youth participants and participants with children are invited to bring their young ones to be a part of the festivities. Staff will not be able to provide rides to or from the event so anyone with children will need to make their own arrangements for transportation.

December will fly by before you know it. Don’t miss out on the excitement. See you Wednesday!

The Pearl Program

Tags : Events

While society innovates, our K-12 schools have remained stagnant. As a result, they are not graduating the doers, makers and cutting-edge thinkers the world needs. Certainly, some public and private schools are modernizing — having students work in groups to solve problems, learn online and integrate science and the arts. But most institutions do not teach what should be the centerpiece of a contemporary education: entrepreneurship, the capacity to not only start companies but also to think creatively and ambitiously.

The Pearl Program is for at risk students ages 13 through 21. It mixes entrepreneurship training with arts and science. This is a 6 week program set in a blended environment using the entrepreneurial learning initiative’s Ice House Entrepreneur Program’s curriculum while giving its participants a chance to get a deeper appreciation of some they already love, music.

The Pearl Program aim to inspire and encourage works produced by student’s creative skill and imagination. The primary focus is to engage students and their love for music by using it to develop an entrepreneurial mindset that they can use in music business and creation.

Six Week Program, Starts Monday, November 16^th, 4:00p-5:30p

The pearl program

Runs through December 21^st, 2015

The Full Spectrum of Gratitude

Tags : Outreach Night

As we enter into this season of Thanksgiving we want to take the next few weeks at OASIS to explore the full spectrum of gratitude. In our times of loss, in our moments of reward, and in the stillness it is important to live with a willing gratitude. Tonight we will explore loss and grief and how in the moments when our hearts feel broken and burdened, it is in those cracks that an opening for God’s light and hope can filter through.

Join us tonight for our Outreach Night experience. Doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.

See you tonight!

“Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” -Romans 5:1-5

Zombie Night!

Tags : akron ohio Outreach Night

Join us tonight for our annual Zombie Night Experience at Oasis. Following as close to our usual Outreach Night format, doors will open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.

Tonight we will be zombifying participants upon arrival. As per usual on a zombie night, there will be make up and face paint to aid in the zombification of all. After dinner we will head upstairs for a brief time together before the “Outbreak” sweeps through the building. This will be an experience that takes us all through and around Oasis as we search for the light that, at times, seems to be so easily absorbed by a dark world and seek out the healing power of the light and the relationships that are formed in it.

Join us tonight for a “zomtastic” evening!

Harmony

Tags : akron oasis ohio Outreach Night

“Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection… live in harmony with one another… if it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. “ -Romans 12:4-8

Tonight we take a look at living in harmony with one another. We will dive into what it is to not just coexist but to live as one in community. How in order to move forward, in faith and in our lives, we must learn to fill in where others have blanks and rely on the support of those we trust when we ourselves are in need.

We gather at our usual time. Doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.

Hope to see you out!

Our OASIS October is all about loving through resolution

Tags : akron oasis ohio Outreach Night

“Jesus answered,’Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from and where I am going…'” -John 8:14

Our Oasis October is all about loving through resolution. Showing love by seeking to find resolution while also being an agent of love during the process of resolution. Tonight we take a look at STABILITY. What stability is needed to ensure a healthy quest toward resolving conflicts? What stability is attained through the process?

Stability is understanding where you’ve come from and having a sound understanding of what you are trying to accomplish. Join us tonight as we tie our journey thus far into the road we seek to travel ahead.

Tonight doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow!
