The team had the most participants of all the churches and also topped the overall medal table with 7 gold, 4 silver and 5 bronze medals. The impressive peformance saw Team Oak Glades coming away with the only two sweeps of any category on the day - the top three finishes in the Children 1.5K Run for girls and the top three finishers in the Children 1.5K Run for girls age 6-9. This result displaced Lawrence Tavern - seasonal top performing church in the EJC 5K Run/Walk and has officially created a similar competition as that which exists between Jamaica and the United States in the sprints of world athletics.

Easter Camp 2010 - íPuedo Hacerlo! (I Can Do It!) From 1-April-2010 to the 5-April-2010 members of the Vision Pathfinder and Adventurer Club and youths of the communities adjacent to the Oak Glades SDA Church journeyed to the Paul Bogle High School, St. Thomas for Easter Camp 2010. The theme of the camp was “Puedo Hacerlo”, Spanish for, "I Can Do It". This was proven by the campers who completed a strenuous hike to Stony Gut, as well as numerous early morning walks to Morant Bay Square and back to the camp site, this after waking up at 4:00AM. Easter Camp 2010 was a tremendous success, made possible by the campers who proved that despite the challenges they would not allow anything to come between them and a wonderful time. The food was nice, the talent pieces in the King/Queen and Prince/Princess competition were excellent, the spirit was amazing, and the experience was great. Campers thoroughly enjoyed camp and are already looking forward to Easter Camp 2011. You can view more information on Easter Camp from the links below |

Certainty In Christ Evangelistic Series Twenty nine (29) precious souls were saved in the Certainty In Christ Evanglistic Series held at the Oak Glades Seventh Day Adventist Church from 10-Jan-2010 to the 7-Feb-2010. Numerous persons from communities such as Union Gardens, Caribbean Palms, Delacree Park, Oakland Road, etc., came out nightly (with the exception of Thursday nights, the rest night) to listen to the word of God, presented by Evangelist Princess Lawes. Clearly and with authority from God she presented the plain truths from the Bible, so much so that persons couldn't help but being moved to listen. Some did more than listened and went down in the watery grave of baptism where they buried the old person of sin and claimed that by God's grace they would live according to His will. You can view the sermon notes prepared by the Evangelist Princess Lawes and look at the photos taken from the evangelistic series by using the links below. |
