Daily Prayers PDF
“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.
Vacation Bible School (VBS)
OCF // July 29th - August 2nd // 5pm-7:30pm
We ask that you would pray over our VBS program this week! What’s VBS? It stands for Vacation Bible School, and its a church outreach focused on giving kids (5th grade and under) a fun and creative place to learn about the Bible, and to build relationships with other kids and leaders. This week we have 120 kids and 97 volunteers coming every evening for an amazing undersea adventure where they’ll experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God and discover what living water is really all about!
Seat at the Table
Upcoming Table: August 10th @9:30am
Our “Seat at the Table” events are opportunities for women to gather, connect, break bread, and spend quality time together. Ladies from our church open up their homes, and host 6-8 women for brunch, dinner, or sometimes even for tea time. We hope one of our upcoming tables work with your schedule because we’d love to save you a seat at the table! Questions about Seat at the Table? Please contact Kelly Olson or Kindra Anderson.

Beach Baptism
Hermosa Beach // Sunday, August 18th @6pm
Our Beach Baptism is coming up on Sunday, August 18th down at 22nd Street in Hermosa Beach! Baptism is a vital part of the Christian life because through it we identify with Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and we are united to his body—the church. We would love to talk to you more if you're ready to get baptized or if you have any questions about it.
Women’s Retreat
Mission Viejo // October 4th-6th
Women’s Ministry is excited to announce that our Women’s Retreat is October 4th-6th in Mission Viejo! We look forward to spending a weekend with you, and offering you a chance to get away for your normal routine to connect deeper with God, and other women at OCF. Our weekend is being built on Hebrews 10:24-25, And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. We hope that you’re able to join us! Register now for 10% off! Early-bird registration ends July 31st. Questions about retreat? Please contact Casey Schramm.
