Marriage Class (6 weeks)
OCF | Starts Sunday, February 23 at 11am
We are offering a 6-week class that will enrich your marriage led by Gene and Teri Engle, based on the book, “How We Love” by Milan and Kay Yerkovich. The basis of this class is to examine how our childhood experiences created certain love styles which significantly affect our marriage relationship. Understanding our love styles can make for deeper connections in our marriages. This class will meet on Sunday mornings during our 11:00 am service beginning February 23. Cost: $30 (for class materials).

“Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” (Eph 6:18) We’re asking our OCF family to “armor” up by committing to pray daily, according to Paul’s list of armor. The following are suggested prayers based on each piece of armor. The prayers are simple, but they are profound reminders of what God has done for us, expressions of dependence on Him, and commitments to do our part.
