New Sermon Series: Christ For You

Volunteer for Festival Choir

Posted Mar. 7, 2024

This Easter, we will be doing a festival choir! This is your opportunity to participate in the handbell or vocal choir with minimal time commitment. We will gather for two rehearsals, one on March 23rd and one on March 30th (Bells at 10:00 am / Choir at 11:00 am) to learn the music and prepare to share it with the congregation on Easter Sunday at the 8:00 am and 9:30 am services!

All are welcome! To participate, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.


100 Envelope Fundraiser

High School Youth are raising funds for their summer mission trip to East Bank, West Virginia. From February 25th to March 31st, you can go to the youth bulletin board across from the library to select an envelope with a value between $1—$100. Return that envelope with your donation to the box under the bulletin board. Every dollar counts and will help our youth participate in this chance to grow their faith while serving others.

The Women's Ministry Council (WMC) is seeking women who are interested in serving on the WMC. This group of ladies work to serve God by serving women at OSWLC, at Open Arms CCDC, and in the surrounding communities.

WMC organizes some of the annual events, such as the Ladies Retreat, Advent Tea, the Sew & Serve Event, Ladies Night / Lunch out, and IF Tables. Each WMC member is expected to serve two-year term. WMC meets on the 3rd Thursdays of each month in the Church Library at 7:00 pm.

Sunday Bible Study: What does it mean to be led by the Spirit?

Updated Mar. 7, 2024

This week in Adult Sunday Bible Study, we will start exploring what Apostle Paul means by being led by the Spirit. Last week, we learned how God’s Spirit gives life, and this week's study picks up from there. We love welcoming new folks, so if you would like to join us, grab your coffee and meet us in Room 13 at 9:30 am on Sundays.

If you want to catch up on some of our earlier Roman studies, we have uploaded videos on studying Romans into the resource section of our group on Church Center.

Organ Fund Update

Updated Feb. 15, 2024

We have reached our goal! Thanks to all who have donated to the Organ Fund.

Our current organ was perfect for our congregation when we moved into our first worship space 24 years ago. We have since moved into a larger sanctuary, and organ technology has also changed dramatically in the past 25 years. It's time for an upgrade.

Our organ selection committee has chosen the Rodgers Model 351D as the for our sanctuary.

The new organ has been ordered. We expect delivery and installation sometime in May.


Enrollment Goal Met in February

Updated Mar. 7, 2024

The target enrollment for Open Arms Christian Child Development Center was reached in February! Kudos go out to all the Open Arms staff, especially our Enrollment Coordinator, Ann Bride, for the continuing efforts to meet the needs of families by identifying, inviting, and registering children into our programs.

This ministry is a large part of our church's outreach into the community, and we are thrilled that we are able to reach so many families.


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!
