January 11 Announcements
1. If you would like to give toward our ministry, you can visit https://ocbc.life/giving. Connect with us today by clicking here!
2. Tomorrow, is the Senior Fellowship Lunch at the church. A group of our older folks will meet for lunch at Noon, and they want everyone to know that you are welcome to join them.
3. We are still in search of 1 to 2 church members who would be willing to help clean the church once a month. We strive to have 4 cleaning groups, so 1 group for each week. So currently we have 3 groups, and 1 person who is willing to be part of the 4th group, but we would love 2 more people to join them. If that is something you could commit to for a year, please let us know. We are thankful for all those serving behind the scenes to bless us all.
4. Another aspect of our church body that we would love for you to consider this year, is joining a Small Group. Our Small Groups meet at specific times, normally on Sunday nights and Thursday nights throughout the year, and they are an extension of this gathering. We desire fellowship and discipleship to be happening amongst our church outside the walls of this building. Consider joining one of our Small Groups by clicking here for more info.
5. There is a tradition that we’ve kept here for a long time at OCBC, and near the beginning of the year, we have what we call a Family Blessing Night. And it is a service focused on praising God and blessing others. And it is a gathering where we encourage you to be involved! When we’ve had Family Blessing Nights in the past, we’ve had people quote scripture, we’ve had families sing songs together, people play special music, we’ve had thought provoking stories read and shared. It’s a night where we encourage you to participate in some way by using your talents to praise God and bless each other! It does take some organizing, so we will have a sign up sheet out at the Welcome Center next week. But begin thinking through how you could participate in that, and plan to attend that gathering on Sunday night, February 15.
6. No Youth Group tonight. Our teens will meet again on Sunday, January 18.
