OASIS SINGLES EVENT
7 PM SATURDAY, APRIL 17th
Doors Open 6:30 PM

You’re invited to join hundreds of Christian singles of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all denominations throughout the tri-state area and beyond for a very special evening of music, catered food and fellowship.
Guest speaker Hal Parks will share a powerful and liberating message focusing on Forgiveness--The Key To Transforming Relationships. Hal is the Chairman, Board of Directors, for Freedom in Christ Ministries. This international ministry was started by noted theologian and best-selling author, Dr. Neil T. Anderson and has encouraged and equipped millions of believers to resolve the personal and spiritual conflicts that affect their interpersonal relationships.
Dynamic contemporary praise and worship will be presented by the worship team from New Hope Community Church of Staten Island.
Delicious catered food and a scrumptious dessert assortment will be enjoyed in our cozy cafe. Low lighting and plenty of greenery create just the perfect atmosphere for making new friends. There is even a game room!
Singles groups are welcome, but don’t hesitate to come alone. Many singles come by themselves. Our greeters will make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.
We suggest that you arrive early. Singles from as far away as Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio have attended these events. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
If you are tired of the usual singles scene, come out to OASIS and be uplifted and encouraged. OASIS events focus on Sonship and our new identity in Christ rather than singleness. They are Christ-centered with plenty of time for much needed fellowship.

MORE THAN 450 SINGLES ATTEND THESE EVENTS!

Admission is free. A $5 donation is suggested to help defray expenses. Free parking is available in the church parking lot. Directions are below. If you have any questions e-mail Singles Director Cindy Galdal at: Cindy@CompleteinChrist.com or call 718 745-7775.

Saturday, April 17th. Would you like to make new friends before the OASIS event even begins? Then come early and join our volunteers at 5:30 p.m. as we cut cake, help the caterer set-up food in the cafe and finish lots of last minute details. You’ll have fun as you get caught up in the energy and excitement of getting ready to open the doors to hundreds of singles for our most popular event of the year! There is also a prayer team that meets at 6 p.m. in the Library. Would you like to join them? Or you can be a greeter at 6:30 p.m. In order to do that you must arrive at 6:15 p.m. During the fellowship time you may help serve food or be a greeter. The clean-up crew starts at 10:30 p.m. and is usually done by 11:15 or so. They are always looking for more help! If you are interested in any of these volunteer opportunities please e-mail Singles Director Cindy Galdal at: Cindy@CompleteinChrist.com.  OASIS also has a team of intercessors that pray privately and individually in their own home. We are always looking for more prayer warriors! There is no travel involved in this aspect of the ministry. You just have to be willing to pray for the OASIS MINISTRY. You can contact Cindy Galdal for suggested prayer requests. If you are interested e-mail her at: Cindy@CompleteinChrist.com.  All OASIS events are prayed for at least two months in advance. Unless the Lord builds the house, the laborers labor in vain. Psalm 127:1.
