OAKNOTES - October 2023
​

Teaching young minds the complexities and idiosyncrasies of a new language, he said, “You should know that the Greek language has two words for time: chronos and kairos. Chronos means time, how we measure time, past, present and future. Kairos means ‘the right time.’”...

Of Interest NOW!
Breakfast is served family style, so come a few minutes early. Our goal is to provide a good breakfast, an interesting program after the breakfast and an opportunity to make new friends and see old friends.
Each month we try to have a stimulating program on a variety of topics dealing with history, economics, health, international affairs, nature, religion, science, local community issues and travel.
Dec 5 – the program will focus on Fellowship. Rev. Dr. Lee Nichols will recount a story about the importance of friendship and Dave Geis will then lead an activity to help us get to know a bit more about others in the group.
​
Jan 2 – Michael Aleprete, Professor of Political Science at Westminster College will discuss The Impact of Stalin’s Legacy on Contemporary Russia.

Presbyterian Women's Circle - Meet the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30 pm. See the OPC Church Calendar for future dates.
