Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
– Psalms 29:2
Worship Ministry
The heart of our worship life is when we gather to fellowship, celebrate, and praise God. Currently, the congregation gathers for a single traditional style service on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. with Sunday School for kids Pre-K through 6th grade available from September through mid-May. Services are live-streamed on YouTube every week, and an archive is available for viewing at a later time. Prior to COVID restrictions, our services featured our Chancel Choir and often special music from the Bell Choir, Kids of the Kingdom, or Una Voce, our women’s choir. Please check the calendar or our Facebook page for the most current schedule updates.
OPPORTUNITIES TO BECOME INVOLVED
If you would like to become a part of our Worship services we have several opportunities depending on your calling. Please contact the following committees:
If you would like to contribute to worship either as a lay reader, usher, greeter, or by donating chancel flowers, please feel free to sign up in the Narthex. Children are also invited to participate as Acolytes, bringing the light of Christ to the Communion table, or announcing the Children’s Message.
Prior to COVID, the Bells of Praise practiced Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 in the Sanctuary, followed by Chancel Choir practice at 7:30 p.m. If you are interested in joining any of our musical groups, please contact the church office for the most current status and schedule.
Learning Ministry
Life is always presenting us opportunities to grown and learn, and at OPC we like to take full advantage! Regardless of your age or interests we have a class for you. We seek to fulfill Colossians 1:28, “He (Jesus) is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.”
If you are looking for ways to become even more involved, the Christian Education Committee, chaired by Janet Hudler, meets the first Wednesday of each month. We are also always looking for fresh ideas, teachers, and assistants to help with our youth and adult classes.
You can find our youth classes and leaders in the following classrooms:
➢ Nursery (2 months through 36 months), Room 204 – Tricia Barlow
➢ Pre-K & Kindergarten, Room 103, Brett Cowan, Teacher
➢ Grades 1 & 2, Room 105, Danielle Stapleton and Susan Gentile, Teachers
➢ Grades 3 & 4, Room 102, Barb Baily and Lillie Spotts, Teachers
➢ Grades 5 & 6, Room 106, Janet Hudler, Teacher
We are using the following curriculums:
Pre-K – 4th – “Growing in Grace and Gratitude”
5th and 6th – “Follow Me”
Adult Bible Study Classes will resume in September.
Women’s Class will resume in September.
Our Youth Fellowship is open to youth in grades 7 through 12. The Junior High group (grades 7-9) will meet every first Sunday of the month and (grades 10-12) will meet every third Sunday of the month 6:30pm-8pm. Check the calendar for upcoming ways in which you can get involved.
Children’s Church was available during our 10:30 worship services before COVID. We are in the process of bringing this ministry back and will post updated information here as it becomes available.
