OCSL Virtual Social Hall

On Sunday, August 17, we will be offering our first Virtual Social Hall, on Zoom, for 30 minutes or so, immediately after the service. This is a chance to hang out with others in our online community, to get to know each other or re-connect with old friends, and to receive some prayer.  We’re excited to create this space for those who regularly attend online and all are welcome. Information about how to join will be coming soon. We can’t wait to see you there!
