Easter Services

Even if you have a regular church that you attend, check with them or another church to learn of special Easter services. If possible, invite family members and/or friends to attend with you.

Also, pray for Chuck and Dorothy Wall. She learned yesterday she will be released today. She in still unable to walk, so pray for her as she continues to heal and progress to walking again.

Dinner with Sinners

‘Dinner with Sinners’ (Mt. 9:10-12)

Read the verses listed above to learn about the meal that was served. I hope you will continue reading, possibly reading a chapter or more. It helps to get the “full picture”.

What are you going to do for someone else today?

God created us to relate to others. There are so many ways to show you care about people. Choose one or more for today. Be a blessing to someone else.

Current Needs for OCC

We need a bandana and two-three small metal cars for each of our shoeboxes. If you can purchase some, you would be a big help. Items you bring can be left in the green tote in the hallway below the sanctuary.

You are appreciated!

Thank you for reading and praying today.
