This Year’s Blessing of the Quilts was a joyful event! The amazing Quilt Ministry here at OSLC is hard at work every week of the year.

At the end of September of 2023, our quilting group had 256 quilts ready to go out into the world to bring comfort and safety to someone in need! Each one reflects God’s loving presence in a world rife with…
Vacation Bible School 2023
What a great week we had at VBS this year! Over 30 students and nearly as many youth and adult volunteers participated in Stellar: Shine Jesus’ Light at OSLC June 19-24.

Temporary Pause on Live Streaming Worship Services
(Starting next weekend, July 17-18, and lasting until a yet to be determined time but likely by late summer/early fall) The worship team has asked to put a temporary hold on live streaming our worship services.

We are doing this hold so that we can create a short-term project to purchase, install,…
