Care Portal: Your donations of $5, $10, and $20 to the Care Portal help children and families in our community with essential needs that allow them to stay together. Thank you for caring and giving.
Tuition Assistance: We have many students who are in need and would appreciate financial aid to keep attending OAA. Please donate to this worthy cause. Mark your envelopes “Tuition Assistance” OAA.
WRGE Radio 97.9 FM: WRGE Radio 97.9 FM: Your church radio station thanks all of you who have donated money to keep us on the air. We air an
announcement talking about "almost giving is not giving at all." Some folks tend to procrastinate, so our treasurer Jack Copeland has come up with an idea to hopefully encourage more donations. Instead of waiting for potential donors to "get around to it", Jack will give you a real "round tuit" so the "almost givers" can take action. See Jack for your round tuit. Just a fun way to remind everyone that we would go off the air without support. You can donate by writing "WRGE" on your tithe envelope or going to the radio station webpage wrge.org where you can give via Paypal Thank you. If you can't listen over the air you can listen online via the webpage. The code is 1844.
