OSLC 2013 Advent Devotional

Each year at OSLC, we create an Advent devotional. This family-friendly resource is given out as the cover of our worship folder each week in Advent. The interior portion is designed for use with children and youth, and the back page has a devotional offering geared towards adults. In 2013, we focus on the first chapter of the Gospel of John discovering the ways that in Jesus God gives us the gifts of life, light, belonging and grace.

Midweek Community Campfires!!!

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.

Summer Series: Community in Christ

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.
