ORLC Focus Day
You're invited to join us on Saturday, August 27th from 9-noon to prayerfully discuss where God might be calling our congregation to dare boldly! Want to come? You've got an assignment beforehand: Prayerfully write down ideas of how God could use ORLC to serve Chugiak/Eagle River, 5-10 years out. Think big and creative! Then identify the hurdles the Lord would have to enable us to overcome in order to make such a goal possible. Write those thoughts down and give them to Pastor James (anonymously if you wish) by August 20th. Childcare provided! Sign up at the Connection Corner.
