20th Dec 2020

welcome

We are glad you are here. We trust and pray that as you read and listen that you will be blessed.
On this the 4th Sunday of Advent, we are continuing in our 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 Isaiah 40 as you enter into our time together.

teaching

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.
