By Sarah Becky Spain, active member of the Oasis LIFE Group, a women’s group that meets on Sunday mornings at 9:30 and is led by Sarah Samuel.<\/address>\n

The Oasis Class bulletin board<\/strong> is a way to celebrate, communicate, and share life within our class community. Practically speaking, it\u2019s a space where we can purposefully and effectively share things of value with our group.
\nWe want group members to be informed about key parts of our group, even if we can\u2019t spend a lot of class time talking about them. We\u2019ve chosen to include highlights from our weekly emails, sign-ups for upcoming group events, photos from past events, and announcements about our monthly Oasis Gives Back campaign. We have a section of the board devoted to our class missionaries, which includes a picture and short bio, as well as prayer points. We\u2019ve also chosen to add favorite verses on note cards and a few book recommendations from group leaders. We\u2019re able to communicate a lot of important class information without words, which allows more class time for studying the Word.
\nWe\u2019ve found that our board is a great way to build community within the group. We can see everything that\u2019s going on and coming up. We are reminded to pray for our missionaries in the world when we see their bios and pictures. We love looking at our class pictures and celebrating all the blessings we collectively share. It also speaks volumes about our group with first-time visitors and future Oasis members.<\/strong>
\nIt was a team effort to decorate the board and now we have one person designated to manage the postings. The entire project was the brainchild of Karen Clark, one of our faithful members and the driving force behind many of our wonderful group activities. It really takes amazing people like Karen to make things like this happen.
\nOur class board has created a welcoming presence in our room which perfectly reflects the intentional heart of our leader, Sarah Samuel. As a class, we echo the words of Jesus in saying \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.\u201d and \u201cI have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.\u201d (Matthew 11:28-30, John 10:10). We hope that everyone who visits room 2000 will be enriched and challenged by the study of the Word, as well as encouraged by what God has planned for our impact in His Kingdom.<\/strong>
