Worship at Hopewell Church
Join us Sunday, June 5, 9:30 a.m. for worship service at Historic Hopewell Church. NO 10:00 a.m. service or Sunday School at OPC Memorial Church. Please join us in celebrating Pentecost Sunday by wearing the traditional color of RED to remind us of the fire of the Spirit.
Pentecost Offering
This Sunday, the Pentecost Offering unites us in a PC(USA) church-wide effort to support young people and inspire them to share their faith, ideas, and unique gifts with the church and the world. As such, 60% of this offering will be used to support youth ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency and 40% will support local missions which engage and transform young lives.
Church Family Picnic
As of Thursday morning, the weather is looking good for a picnic. Join the OPC family at the new covered bridge in Hueston Woods, this Sunday following worship at Hopewell. Turn right out of Hopewell and go about a mile to the picnic area which will be on the right. Bring your own food, charcoal if needed - grills are available. Wading in the creek is toll free. Rain cancels.
Spirit of Scotland Tour
"The Spirit of Scotland," begins in Edinburgh on Tuesday. Twenty folks from our church family will join Pastors Lawrence and Marc on this congregational Learning Journey initially scheduled in 2020. Join us in worship at Historic Hopewell for a blessing of these pilgrims.

A care team is in place for the duration of this 10-day journey. If a pastoral care concern arises, please contact the church office and you'll be connected with a care team member. Into worship, we welcome the Rev. Charles Dickerson who will be preaching on June 12 & 19. Join our pilgrims in praying that they may encounter Christ in the birthplace of the Presbyterian Church and be transformed.
Materials for Colombia
In a few weeks 10 missionaries from OPC will be traveling to our sister church in Barranquilla. In an effort to help the various missions the group is looking for supplies. Physical donations can be placed in the suitcases in the narthex; monetary donations can be made to the Oxford Presbyterian Church with the memo, Colombia missions. A list of items needed can be found here, along with how much they would cost to purchase in Colombia. All donations need to be brought to the church on or before July 3rd.

The place God calls you to
