SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE BEGINS MAY 26

From Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, we gather for Sunday worship at OSLC at 9:00 AM...just the one service.

During the school year (September through May) most folks have their preferred hour to worship, sticking pretty closely to either the 8:30 or 10:45 service most every week. We hope you will regard the 9:00 gathering time in the summer as an opportunity to see both familiar faces and unfamiliar...fellow members of your church family whose paths you don't cross as often because they worship at a different time during the school year. It's one big summertime, summer-long family reunion! Join us!

If you're worshipping with us on-line, we'd like to extend to you an invitation to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion with us during our live-stream. Here's How:

Before the service, simply prepare elements for communion to have ready...perhaps some bread from the pantry, or some crackers, as well as a small amount of wine or grape juice poured into individual small glasses or cups. Have these set aside for when the service begins. When the words of institution are proclaimed over the bread and wine on the altar, know that those words and the promise they bear ("given and shed FOR YOU") are proclaimed and prayed over the elements in your home. If you are worshipping alone in your home, commune yourself with us. If there are two or more of you gathered in front of the screen, commune each other with the same words:"The body of Christ, given for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you." If there are young children with you, mark the sign of the cross on their foreheads and remind them that Jesus loves them and forgives them all of their sins. As you share the meal, be assured that you're sharing it with all of those physically gathered, as well as with others gathering with you on-line. We pray this opportunity will be a strength and comfort to you, as you receive Jesus' presence through the sacrament.
