Sunday Worship
Sunday Morning Prayer Service – June 14, 2026, 9:00 AM
Dr. Lynn Thomas, Prayer Leader
Morenike Oyebode, M.DIV. , Guest Homilist and Sermon, June 14, 2026
Morenike Oyebode earned a master’s in divinity in 2025, at Yale Divinity School (YDS) in New Haven, NY. Before attending YDS, Morenike was a 2019 corps member of Teach for America committing to the work of fighting for the educational justice of Black and brown students in the public-school systems. During this time, she served as a general education, elementary teacher of wonderful third and fourth grade students in Greenville, SC. Stuck in the question of theodicy, specifically as it concerns the disparities in this system, she felt led to obtaining theological education in attempts to answer some questions that her various denominational backgrounds could not. She seeks to intersect the work of law, religion/theology, and the education system to further demand justice for marginalized communities. Currently, she is navigating her call to church ministry. Her complex denominational upbringing has compelled her to matriculate through both Andover Newton Seminary and Berkeley Divinity School during her time at YDS. Her deepest desire is to follow where the Spirit of God leads. Prior to Yale, Morenike earned a BS in Business administration from Hampton University in 2019 and an MBA in 2020 from Hampton. She is currently a six-grade math teacher.
