Youth Helpers Needed For Palm Sunday Breakfast

Sunday, March 28th, is the Annual Youth Palm Sunday Breakfast and we need YOU to help make it a success. Come Saturday, March 27th, at 10:00 am to the Fellowship Hall to help set-up for the breakfast on Sunday. The 7th, 8th, and 9th graders help serve before the service from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th graders and high school students help serve after the service.

This is an easy way to earn service electives, help the church, have a lot of fun and with everybody’s contribution help make this a successful fundraiser. All of the money that is raised goes directly back into youth programs here at OSLC. Don’t forget to invite your friends, family and neighbors for breakfast. We serve from 8:00-9:00 a.m. and 10:00-11:30 a.m. If you have any questions please contact Jessica Zinniel or the Family and Youth Team.

March Book Club Selection: The Lost Symbol

Our March book is The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, at the U.S. Capitol Building to deliver a lecture, is drawn into a desperate search through the hidden tunnels and temples of Washington, D.C., when his mentor Peter Solomon, a prominent Mason and philanthropist, is kidnapped and the only clue to Solomon’s whereabouts lies in an ancient invitation to a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.

We will also view a DVD of the program aired on the Discovery Channel to learn more about the Freemasons. Our book discussion will take place on Thursday, March 25th at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome!
