March family day | The start of Lej | New Members to OXCI |
Men - Killing Time | Parenting Course
Our Gateway kids did a great job of leading us in worship, entertaining us with their dancing and putting on a wonderful concert for everyone at our family day on 29 March.
I would like to congratulate the children on a job well done and we are very proud of every one of you! They had an important message to convey, and I think they did very well. I trust that we have all taken away something useful from the day. Apart from the amazing input we had from the children, everyone enjoyed the relaxed time together and we had a great time of eating and laughing and playing games.

The Start of Lej - Youth On Mission
At last! After years of carrying the vision, speaking to young people about a youth group in Kidlington and (more recently) handing out invitations, we finally had out first Lej meeting. The young people started arriving before 7 and the boys especially, one by one, did a tour of the building (Hayley on the OXCI Blog)... Read More

We had the wonderful privilege of bringing two new families in to membership at OXCI on the 17th May. Once again we would like to welcome Warren, Lisa, Michaela, Bianca and Joshua Martin along with Andy & Sophie Leighton-Bell.
We look forward to all God has for us as a family who God has called to firstly love Him and one another as we reach the community around us.
Welcome to OXCI.
A number of the men went to a "Men's Breakfast" hosted by Emmanuel Church Oxford. The speaker was Noel Fellowes' a man who had been falsely imprisoned for manslaughter and spent 7 years in a maximum security prison. After coming to the Lord he prayer for Justice and for his innocence to be brought to light, he was later acquitted of the crime as new evidence came to light. Am amazing testimony of the grace of God and how no one is too far gone. Praise His name
The Parenting Course was meant to take place on Saturday 16th May, however only 2 families registered and it was decided the course would be moved to sometime after the summer holidays.
This course promises to be practical, you will leave with a number of handy tools. Parenting is not for the faint hearted, the times we live in are placing untold pressures on our children as they grow up. We as parents have both the privilege and responsibility to bring them up in the ways of the Lord.
