OCC’s Website Featured by Faith Highway

Yesterday, our website was featured in Faith Highway’s monthly e-zine (think ‘electronic’ and ‘magazine’). They designed the site for us, and tell me that not only has it been a success for us, it’s also been one for them. Despite the fact that they produce 1000 church websites a year, ours is the main site their customers repeatedly [...]

What’s Inside Your Heart?

Ha ha, this will make you laugh, but it will also make you think, and I love that combination. Pr. 4:23 tells us “above all else, guard your heart,” but ah, how little care we give to the things heart! If this happened to you, what would you hear?

Thanks to Pastor Chris for sending this [...]

Artist Review: Jimmy Needham

Lately, I’ve been checking out Jimmy Needham. He’s a recording artist out of Houston, TX, and he’s really good. Not only is he serious about his music, but he’s also serious about God.

Here’s an excerpt from his Bio on Myspace:

Rick Warren Answers His Critics

The “Relevant” Church

These guys love to remove barriers that stop people from coming to Christ and the Church. Including the offense of the cross. [...]

Christmas with the Capson’s

Just got home from the Capson’s. These guys are some of our favourite people, and it’s been a while since we’ve made time to hang out, but we still enjoy their company as much as ever. I won’t caption it, because we’re all colour coded. The Lamb’s are blonde, and the Capson’s all have brown [...]

The Incarnation: What Christmas Means to Me

Since it’s Christmas Day, I thought I’d share a couple personal thoughts on what Christmas means to me….

1. Christmas is NOT Easter. It annoys me when people trivialize Christmas just because it doesn’t include a murder. What’s up with that?

2. Christmas is a time to focus on the incarnation and all it means.

So what does [...]

Candelight Service Tonight!

Hey! Don’t forget to come to the candlelight service tonight at OCC!

This is always a beautiful time. It’s only an hour long, so you’ll still have lots of time with your family afterwards. We light candles and sing Christmas carols together, and hear a few words. Kids love it, too! Just [...]
