welcome

We are glad you are here. We trust and pray that as you read and listen that you will be blessed.
Today we start our Advent series: THIS [Peace, Wonder, King, Hope, Invitation, Presence] Changes Everything.

We encourage you to take a few minutes as you prepare to watch the video

  • sit still,
  • breathe in, breath out a couple of times
  • invite the Lord to make himself present with you as you watch – he is with you – it’s just that sometimes we are not aware that he is.
  • prepare your heart to listen and receive
  • Read Luke 2:8-20 as you enter into our time together.

teaching

Here is the service for Sunday 6 December. Ray & Brenda Scriver along with Alan Jarvis and Aaron Gallea lead us in worship today. Pastor Mike uses a German theological word today – but don’t let that scare you off… it describes a feeling that all of us have.

prayer

Here is the link to our Zoom Prayer tonight @ 6:30pm

OCCKids & Youth

OCCkids are meeting in Theatre 1 @ 10am (during our morning service). Additional resources for those who cannot be present are available from pastor Brent.

  • OCCYouth are meeting every 2nd Friday nights (6:30-8:00pm). They are next meeting on: December 18.
  • Jr High meets every 2nd Thursday night (6:30-8:00pm). They are meeting on: December 11.

giving

In this new way of being the church, we don’t practice giving by placing our offering in a basket as it is passed.
OCCers are generous people. Thank you for your gifts.

  • Some of you give when you attend a service (there is an offering box)
  • Many give online – etransfer or paypal
  • Others mail or drop off cheques

You can find all the ways you can give here.
