OPC Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany 2020-2021

This theme is for the dreamers in all of us—those who dream of a deeper connection with God and those who dream of a better world. It’s for those who dream of comfort and for those who have given up on their dreams. It’s for those whose dreams have been crushed and for those who show us that dreams take time. Join us this Advent as we dream alongside prophets and angels, Mary and the Magi. Join us as we seek and sow God’s dreams for our world. A Worship Series from A Sanctified Art

Advent and Christmas services this season will be live-streamed from our sanctuary to your homes, so that the beauty of that space, decorated for the season, may enliven our hearts and minds as we close out the year together and dream about what God has in store for our future, together.
