Oakland UMC hosted Lunch on the Lawn for both Oakland UMC and Centerville UMC congregations and visitors. We welcomed in Pentecost together under the pavilion for Sunday's service. We spent the time together in worship, singing, fellowship, and great food! Both churches are rich in history and community fellowship for greater than a century each. We journeyed back 100 years to envision how each community was able to experience the presence of God because rest and Sabbath were part of their lives. As time has passed and transportation and technology have decreased the vastness of the world and time by filling our lives with busyness - today people seek being still and fellowship. These two churches still embody the presence of the Holy Spirit. She is deeply felt and experienced from the love and joy each person shares with others to the winds that blow through during the service. The Presence is what you feel when you come to church at Oakland and Centerville.
