Rev. George Rakos

George passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Dec. 20th. He faithfully served the people of Alaska for decades, though you might know him best by filling in for Pastor James at ORLC. He was a blessing to many, a faithful child of God to be sure, who lived each day for the Lord. Condolences may be sent to Carolyn Rakos, 13120 Foster Road, Anchorage, AK 99516

ORLC AMC Team -

We're sending a team out through Alaska Mission for Christ this summer! Join us June 2-7 as we head out to Kenny Lake (near Chitina) to work on the old Sapa compound. It's recently been acquired and is being repurposed for Lutheran ministries, teen camps, etc... Whether you can swing a hammer or flip a hamburger, we need you! Cost will be roughly $150.

Volunteer Board

There is a new Volunteer Board. If you would like to volunteer as an Acolyte, play special music during service, or serve as a Coffee Barista find a date that works best for you! If you would also like to be added to our Lector Reader Schedule please email Abby Keller at office@orlc-ak.org. Or if you are interested in serving on the Altar Guild please contact Marianne Dabbs.

The Good Life in Christ — Ethics for the Christian Disciple

The next round of Community Light Bible Studies will look at ethical issues from God’s perspective. How do divine commands shape our ethical decision-making? What divine virtues are we designed to reflect? How does God motivate our morality as Christian disciples? We’ll look at the crucial functions of justice, love, humility, vocation, and freedom in the life and witness of the Christian. Sundays, 6-7pm, beginning Dec. 5.
