Book for Lent: Simplifying the Soul
Each year at OSLC during the Season of Lent (begins on March 5 in 2014), everyone is invited to read a book together and engage in spiritual practices that enrich our lives individually and as a community. In 2014, our Lenten book is Simplifying the Soul, Lenten Practices to Renew Your Spirit (by Paula Huston). Huston is a Benedictine oblate who writes this book as an invitation for readers to declutter their minds, hearts, relationships and souls by trying out specific practices during the days of the Lenten season…

Lent 2014: Tending to the Core
The Season of Lent begins each year on Ash Wednesday (March 5 for 2014) and takes us all the way up to the day of Easter (April 20 for 2014). This is a period of 40 days (not counting Sundays, which are considered a mini celebration of Easter each week) that reminds us of the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness where he fasted and was tempted.

Survey for Families with Young Children
The Christian Education committee is administering this survey of young families as part of our efforts to further OSLC’s mission to nurture faith and partner with families. We are looking for insights that will help us evaluate particular ministries (like Sunday School and Early Childhood Education) and that will inform our overall understanding of how we engage families.
