The camp is having a workday Saturday June 18th, 9:30 am. Lunch will be provided.
A work weekend Friday June 24th-Sunday June 26th
We have a busy camp season coming up and there will be lots to do including: clean and rebuild the cooks quarters, shingle the garage, prep the baseball field, and cleaning the cabins.
Summer is here. School is almost over for another year. That can only mean one thing: Camp! Are you ready for another great summer at OCA? Are you ready to see old friends and make new ones? Are you ready for some summer fun? Are you ready to celebrate our “One Hope”? I hope so because that’s the theme of this year’s camp! Check the camp dates and mark your calendars and don’t forget to get your parents to send in your registration forms early to take advantage of the early registration savings. Better yet, get them to register using our handy online registration forms!

Knowing that something significant has happened isn't the same as knowing the significance of that something.
In fact, the more significant the happening, the harder it is to fully understand its significance. Understanding significance takes time. Seeing context and connections and outcomes takes time. Knowing the significance of something is like looking at a painting. When you are close to it, all you see are brushstrokes and blobs of colour, but step back and the beauty, patterns, and the meaning comes into focus.
This week Grant concludes his series in the Gospel of John. John's Gospel was written last. John had the benefit of not only walking and talking with Jesus and truly knowing Him, but he also had the benefit of the inspired thoughts of the other gospel writers and time to look back and ponder.
In other words, John's gospel has perspective. It is a gospel that focuses on, not only what Jesus did, and why He did it, but on who Jesus was. It is a gospel focused on significance. Join us on this journey of asking the very question John wants us to ask, the very question he seeks to answer: "Who is Jesus?"
Every Wednesday we get together to pray and study God’s Word.
We begin with our study at 6:30 pm. This is a time of informal, relational study together. We have a lot of laughs and lots of serious discussions as we seek to understand and apply God’s Word to our lives.
Then at 8:00 pm a group of dedicated people lifts the ministries and concerns of the congregation and community to the Lord. If you have a concern you would like prayed for, or if you would like to be present to be prayed for, you can email Grant.
GROW is on break until May 1st
