As we evaluate the ministry opportunities provided during this time of social distancing and begin to prepare for resuming worship at OBC, we invite you to complete a brief, anonymous survey. Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your voice.
On June 7 we will announce our preliminary plans for moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2, as described in our guidelines.

Help us honor our graduates!
Our Baccalaureate Worship will look a little different this year, but we still want you to have the opportunity to share your words of congratulations and encouragement with our graduates, so we invite you to write them a note. These notes will be compiled into special gift for each senior. You can write one general note that will be used for each person, or you can write personal notes.
2020 High School Graduates: Luke Griffin, Anna Lee Hoffman, Jack Hudson, Christopher Manfredi, Grayson Whitaker, Peyton Williams.
Please email your words of encouragement and congratulations to Leigh (lreynolds@oaklandchurch.com) by May 24.

A calendar detailing summer opportunities for socially distant fellowship, discipleship, worship, and missions is coming soon!

On Sunday, June 7, our virtual worship will center around Communion. In preparation for this service, gather bread/crackers and grape juice. If you do not have these elements, use your best judgment on a replacement (i.e. juice, water, wine). We also encourage you to prepare a table for Communion in your home. Here are some creative suggestions for making the service meaningful:
- Bake homemade bread. CLICK HERE for a recipe for unleavened communion bread.
- Decorate a banner to use as a Lord’s Supper parament
- Use a special plate or cup (such as fine china) as serving dishes
- Cover the table you will use with a white cloth
- Place a cross and/or lit candle on the table
- Dress in your Sunday best clothes and assign each person a part in the service (Greeter, Deacon, etc)
