The 1930s themed summer event is an absolute must-attend, with the church inviting everyone to “come and get your glad rags on and enjoy the party.” Darren Woodward, the Senior Leader of Oak Grove Community Church, expressed his gratitude to God for reaching this milestone, stating, “October 1935 saw the opening of what was originally known as Oak Grove Hall and what we know today as Oak Grove Community Church, and we are so grateful to God to reach such a milestone! With any special anniversary, we are taking this opportunity to celebrate and we’ll be doing so in style!” The event promises to be a night of fun, food, and merriment, with a two-course grazing banquet, a raffle, mocktails, and a photobooth all on offer. The dress code for the evening is 1930s/art deco/black or gold, so it’s time to dig out those fancy clothes and get ready to paint the town red.
