WHAT ABOUT COMMUNION?
- We celebrate the Lord's Supper almost every Sunday.
- Baptized adult Christians who know they need God’s daily forgiveness, who are sorry for their sins and seek God’s forgiveness, and who believe that the body and blood of Jesus Christ are truly present in the Lord’s Supper are invited to share this great gift of God with us.
- We have an annual "First Communion" class for instruction on Holy Communion. People as young as the 5th Grade may attend. Check out Faith Milestones.
THE SERMON
- At OSLC, Sunday sermons are usually part of a series. Sermon series are focused on a particular topic or study, and typically run several weeks.
- Sermon notes can be found on the Church Center App, or on the handout you receive when you enter the Worship Center.
- Previous Sermons can be watched on demand.
