Our Charge Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." John 20:21
Our Understanding of Service and Mission from Romans When our purpose is to give credit to God for his love, power, and perfection in all we do, we can serve him properly. None of us can be Christlike by ourselves - it takes the entire body of Christ to fully express Christ. When we actively and vigorously embody the love of Christ and build up other believers, Christians can be a symphony of service to God. (taken from the New International Version of the Life Study Bible)
OPC Mission The goal of mission at Oakmont Presbyterian Church is one of not only financial support but one, whenever possible, that promotes "hands-on participation." In this way we can actively and vigorously build up others for the Kingdom of God. In doing so, we are mutually encouraged in our Faith.
Mission to Arecibo, July 11-16 Our Senior High Youth Group will travel to Arecibo, Puerto Rico to share the gospel with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, while serving the homeless and helping host a vacation Bible school. If you have a Facebook account click on the link above and see the up-to-the-minute whereabouts and pictures from the trip. |
Advent & Christmas Alternative Giving YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT WORKING FOR OTHERS You have an opportunity to not only support local mission at OPC but to honor others who are important to you. The mission committee has created a Christmas card with a photograph of our communion table, advent candle wreath and poinsettias. This card contains the special message of Christmas as well as a place for a personal message to honor or remember a friend, family member, teacher or other special person. This card is the perfect answer of “what to get someone” when they really don’t need anything. The “need” is provided by supporting our local “Open Hands” mission project. There is no specific cost associated with giving this card; we just recommend that you donate an amount that you would spend for a gift. The cards are available in the Fifth Avenue narthex or in the church office. The OPC mission team wishes you the hope and peace that the message of Christ’s birth brings us.
