There is nothing quite like gathering around a campfire on a cool summer evening. Each Wednesday evening from July 24 through August 28, OSLC will hold a series of community campfires on the shores of Lake Sammamish. These campfires are relaxed and informal and include a simple evening worship service on the beach. Hot dogs, condiments, water, and SMORES are provided. Just bring yourself, a friend, and something to sit on. We gather beginning at 6:30 PM each Wednesday. All are welcome.

During the summer months at OSLC, we are exploring the theme of Community in Christ. As it says in 1 Corinthians 12:27, we “are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” During our summer worship services, we are refreshed by this hopeful word. Each Sunday features a special reading on community, simple joyous music and prayer, and an opportunity for children to participate through artistic response. Come and be renewed by your connection to God’s works of love and mercy this summer.
