Dec 12 – Advent 3

This is the beginning of Advent… the 4 Sundays that lead us up to Christmas… 1 more to go after today.

• we are called into God’s presence
• we are called to be together
• we are called to wait with God
• we are called to serve & bless others – those who are part of God’s kingdom and those who have not yet responded to God’s grace

God’s people at OCC

• are meeting on-line – that’s right here;
• we are also meeting Sunday morning in-person @ 10:ooam
  • OCCKids: K to Grade 5, Grade 5-8
  • Our nursery space is also available
• Prayer via zoom from 6:30-7:30pm
• High School students meet in person at 7:30pm.

As we can gather in larger numbers in our building, we remind you of a few details

• You still need to register… the link is available each week on the home page or you call OCC (705.329.2139)
• We need to maintain distancing in our building.
• We need to wear a face-covering in our building.
• At this point, we cannot serve refreshments, but you are welcome to bring your own coffee/tea/water. For the comfort of others, please do not remove your face-covering until you are in your seat.

We will continue to offer our service on-line… that’s right here

As you prepare to watch our service video, we encourage you to take a few moments…

• get your coffee or tea, settle in, be still…
• take 2 or 3 deep breaths… in and out… breathe,
• invite the Lord to make himself present with you as you watch – he is with you – it’s just that often we are not aware that he is.
