VBS Training - May 9: All volunteers are required to attend a special training class. If you weren't able to attend in April, please plan to on attending the Saturday, May 9, class from 10am-1pm in the Fellowship Hall.

For May, we will be celebrating Mothers with a Mexican menu theme. Please bring your favorite Mexican entree, a complimentary side and/or dessert to share... and a friend!
Anyone 50-years-young and up is welcome to come and have a little fun and fellowship with God's family on the first Wednesday of the month at 11:30am in the Fellowship Hall.

This year’s production, “Legends at Camp Garner Creek,” tells the story of kids excited for summer plans like sports, drama, and music camps, only to feel disappointed when things don’t go as expected. Along the way, they discover true “legends” from the Bible—heroes like Daniel, who faced the lions’ den, Joshua, whose trumpet brought down walls, and Queen Esther, whose courage made a difference. Through this fun and meaningful story, children share an important message: God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
Immediately following the program, stop by the Fellowship Hall for our Spring Social. Everyone is invited to stay and enjoy a time of fellowship—please bring a sweet treat to share. Invite a friend!

Join us monthly on the third Friday for a fun afternoon including a movie, fellowship, and discussion. And yes—there will be popcorn! Meet in AC-204 to enjoy great conversation and Christ-centered community. Bring a friend!
MOUNTAIN TOP is our May 15 featured film.

Grab your friends and get ready for an evening of food, fellowship, and fun! Chicken and beef will be provided for taco bowls for our Flowers & Fiesta Night. We will be planting and taking home a flower pot. Doors open at 6:00pm, and our evening begins at 6:30pm. Childcare available.
Last names A-M, please bring a dessert to share. Last names N-Z, please bring taco bowl toppings (rice, corn, black beans, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, fajita peppers, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes).

Coming Soon — Back to the Basics
What is the gospel? What does the Bible teach about baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and the church? How do we pray, read Scripture, discover our spiritual gifts, and handle what God has entrusted to us? These are not beginner questions — they are the questions every believer must be able to answer with clarity and confidence. Beginning Sunday night, May 24, Pastor Mark will lead us through Back to the Basics, an eight-sermon series returning to the foundations that hold everything else in the Christian life together. Invite a friend, bring your Bible, and join us on Sunday evenings as we go back to what matters most.

For May, we're collecting school supplies, such as crayons, markers, pens, pencils, erasers, little sharpeners, scissors, etc., to pack our OCC shoeboxes. Please remember we're collecting for age groups 2-4 years, 5-9 years, and 10-14 years. Place them in the giant shoebox collection bin in the Welcome Center.
Also, handmade outfits are welcome every month! Denise Thompson has patterns and fabric available (pockets requested). We’re filling boxes for boys and girls in all age groups. Thank you for helping us meet the need.

The Men's Fellowship Breakfast is scheduled monthly on the first Saturday at 8:00am in the Fellowship Hall. (If you'd like to come early to help, food prep starts at 6am.) Men of all ages are welcome. Bring a brother!
