Where Do You See God?
God is not limited to the confines of a building; God’s kindom is limitless. God is at work during this time and is visibly active, bringing forth joy and resurrection in unlikely places. For the past six weeks, the people of OSLC have shared what we have witnessed: signs of new life and God's active presence in our world. It has been a pleasure compiling these testimonies every week. Even as the series is ending, you are invited to continue to take note of all the ways God continues to be active in our world. Enjoy this week's testimonies here: Where Do You See God?

June Book Club
June 24 at Noon via Zoom
This June we will be exploring Marcus Borg's Meeting Jesus Again For the First Time. In straightforward, accessible prose, Borg looks at the major findings of modern Jesus scholarship from the perspective of faith, bringing alive the many levels of Jesus's character: spiritual person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social prophet, and movement founder. Drawing on his own journey from a naïve, unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can actually lead to a more authentic Christian life--a life rooted in spiritual challenge, compassion, and community.
