Missions Week

Tuesday, March 10th

We’ll be looking at world missions at youth group.  Do you know how many unreached people groups there are?  Do you know who needs the Bible in their own language?  What is the church doing, and how can you help?  Show up and find out!

Thursday, March 12th

We’ll be going up to Washington Bible College/Capital Bible Seminary to attend the evening session of their annual missions conference!  Talk to missionaries from around the world.  Get a bigger picture of what’s happening today in missions.  Talk to Ben to find out more!

Saturday, March 14th

Saturday is another service and outreach day!  It’s time to apply what you’re learning.  Clear the calendar, show up, and serve with us.  More information coming soon!

Saturday night is “International Night”!  7pm at the Purves’ home.  Come learn about the world, listen to missions stories, and eat food from different countries.  Bring an international dish to share, and (if you’re daring), dress up in international garb.

Sunday, March 15th.

Missionary Rick Searls will be speaking at OBC during both morning services.

The ‘09 Youth Retreat

Praise the Lord for this year’s youth retreat! Over forty youth and adults went up to the Greenwood Hills Retreat Center in Pennsylvania for our annual OBC Winter Youth Retreat. It was a great weekend of late night conversations, frozen t-shirts, small groups, getting warm by the fireplace, new friends, strange foods, snowballs, and learning to develop a heart after God. This year’s retreat was focused on Matthew 9:13, “Go, and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’” Thank you for your prayers and support, and thank you to those who provided scholarships to our students!
