July 2018
Summer Worship - Join us Sundays at 10 a.m.
Our summer worship topic continues - as we "Worship in Christ" together at 10 AM, singing His praises, sharing Community in His Holy Supper, and Growing as Christians in His Word. Our summer sermon series "I AM..." will look at God's attributes, personality and identity. After all, how can we love, worship, and share Him with others unless we really get to know Him? Let's come and celebrate His name!

What if you had to walk 4 hours for clean water?
The OSLC Evangelism Ministry is sponsoring "Living Wells of Water" project through the ELCA Good Gifts program. Lack of Clean water is one of the biggest challenges to overcoming poverty and it is one of the most powerful ways to reach out with the love of Christ.
Did you know that a single well can give 500 families clean, safe water? This allows communities to focus on education to end poverty.
Our goal is to donate a well by the end of the year... dollar by dollar, dime by dime, and drop by drop! Your check can be written to OSLC and designated to the "Well Project".
