Welcome to OBC!

Since folks were not able to greet them on Sunday we encourage you to call, text, or email them a word of welcome. Kirk works at Nation Ford Chemical and was part of OBC as a young child. Lisa works at Palmetto Skin and Laser, and Summer is an 8th grader at Sullivan Middle School. Kirk can be contacted at 803-487-1547 or jkwsky@yahoo.com. Lisa can be contacted at 803-280-9943 or stephanie_thomasson@yahoo.com. Or you can send the family a card to 1253 Charlotte Avenue, Rock Hill.
