Autumn at Oasis
We have some exciting things coming up over the next few months of 2026 at Oasis Church Waterloo, so get the dates in your diary!
There’s a wide range of Sunday topics, Theology on Tap returns, and there’s also an online Belonging Again! There are loads of opportunities to get involved, to learn, to eat together, and to engage with God, each other, and our community. If you are unable to join in person, feel free to visit Oasis Waterloo – YouTube to enjoy our sermons online.
Our regular activities will also continue, so if you’d like to join a small group email smallgroups@oasiswaterloo.org, or to help us pull Sundays together by volunteering, email volunteering@oasiswaterloo.org. We also have a wide range of

September
Sermon focus: Telling the Big Story: Judges
Starting on Sunday 6 Sept, we’re continuing our walk-through of the whole Bible with one of those sometimes-odd, violent books of the Old Testament, and will be telling the big story through the lens of three of Judges’ main characters: Deborah, Gideon, and
Samson. We’ll end the series on Sept 27 with an interactive Q&A session: What about all the violence?

October
Sermon focus: Filter: Embracing or Resisting Culture
From Sunday 4 Oct we’ll be exploring a few hot cultural topics and discussing how we respond to them – consumerism, AI and cancel culture.
On Oct 25 we’ll have a brunch service – a chance to eat together and discuss what we’ve learned over the past few weeks. Is there an alternative to consumerism? Is it OK to use AI? Should someone ever be cancelled? Bring some food if you can, and join the conversation.

November
Sermon focus: Acts: the Unfinished Story
In November, as well as commemorating Remembrance Sunday and Trans Day of Remembrance, our Sunday sermons will tell the story of the book of Acts, in the New Testament.
The story begins with the birth of a new radical church movement, expands to include a whole range of people previously excluded, and asks a question of all of us: what chapter is God writing now? We’ll end the series on Nov 22 with a Q&A session, before starting Advent the following Sunday.
