Seasons of Hope
Join us each Wednesday in Lent for "Season of Hope", a special Lenten worship featuring Holden Evening Prayer and conversations with various OSLC families. Each conversation will be centered around the word "hope" and how families are surviving the pandemic, keeping hope alive, and finding new ways to connect with each other and the community. Tune in to Facebook, YouTube, or the website at 6:00 pm to worship with your church family and to sustain your hearts during the Lenten journey.
