New Sermon Series: Loved & Sent
April 14th to June 2nd
What if two simple words could transform your life? This spring, we’ll explore how two pivotal words from the Bible—Loved & Sent—can redefine who you are and why you matter. Using insights from the book Loved & Sent by Pastor Jeff Cloeter, we’ll discover that we are loved by God more than we’ve ever imagined and sent into this world with more purpose than we’ve ever thought.
Donations Needed for Yard Sale
We are looking for donations of gently used clothing, furniture, and other household items. Donations will be accepted at the POD in the parking lot between April 8th and May 3rd after church services or may be dropped off in the atrium outside the Great Room during Open Arms hours. If you are donating a larger item, please plan to drop it off at 6:00 pm on Friday, May 3rd.
If you have questions about what can be donated or would like to arrange a time to drop off items, please contact

Scam Alert
Updated Jan. 4, 2024
Recently, some of our members have received scam texts and emails from scammers pretending to be Pastor John. If you receive any of these types of messages for favors or requests, please disregard and block the sender.
How to Identify a Fake Message:
- You receive a message requesting gift cards.
- A text comes from a realistic, but random, phone number.
- The email address is not an oswlc.org address, but is from a gmail or yahoo address.
- They request that you not reach out via phone call because they’re “in a meeting.”
- The message seems time-sensitive or says that it is urgent.
We get so many messages and emails during the course of the day. Many times, people who would disregard an email will accidentally follow a spoof text message as it seems more “legit.” Scammers are looking for money… usually in the form of gift cards, or personal and sensitive information that can be used for identity theft and fraud. Be careful, be cautious, and be skeptical!
