The women’s ministry provides several informal events each year, such as potlucks and movie nights. These events are designed and publicized to included ALL women so that new attenders can begin to make “girl-friends” here at OCF. We also have several annual events - the Christmas Bake Sale & Crafts Bazaar, Ladies' Tea and Fall Retreat - that you won't want to miss!

Christmas Bazaar - December 2010
Every year the Women's Ministry puts on a Christmas Bazaar to raise funds for scholarships for the Women's Retreat. In years past, we have featured baked goods, ornaments, creative crafts, gifts, scarves, necklaces, kids stuff and thing-a-ma-bobs, all donated and sold at the Bazaar! The 2009 Bazaar was a huge success! Thanks to all who volunteered and purchased to help support the Women's Ministry!
Ladies Outreach Tea
You won’t want to miss this incredible opportunity to be pampered, enjoy wonderful fellowship, and invite your friends to a truly special event. These are memorable afternoons when ladies are blessed and the Lord touches each of us. Thank you to all who helped to make the 2009 tea a wonderful event!
