An Oasis is "a place between."  It is a place of rest.  It is a place of growth.  It is a place of life in the middle of a desert.Oasis is also the Network's online gathering.  It is a place between where we are now, and where God is leading us.  It is a place of refreshment, renewal, learning and connection.  Twice this year, members of the Network are invited to come together for an online gathering.  Together, we will renew, learn and connect.
