I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jeremiah 3:15
Mother's Day
In joyful celebration of our mothers on Mother's Day, we would like to honor them with carnations.
Everyone will get a carnation, or two, to signify and honor their own mother, and/or mother figure.
After the service on Mother's Day, you may keep your carnation, give it to your mother, or return them to the vases as you exit the Sanctuary. The flower committee will combine these to distribute to our homebound.
The meaning of Carnations on Mother's Day
to commemorate the heart of the family
Red Carnations are given in honor of a mother who is still living, and represents
our admiration and appreciation for her.
White Carnations are given in remembrance of a mother who has passed away, and represents
the unconditional, pure, and lasting love of a mother.
We will distribute carnations on Mother's Day at the 8:45am and 11:00am services.
The carnation doesn't drop its petals, but hugs them to its heart as it dies, and so, too, mothers
hug their children to their hearts, their mother love never dying.

In a Chaotic World, Jesus is Our Path to Peace.
"Take a deep breath kids *inhales deeply* that's the smell of the great out...wait...nope that's definitely a skunk!
IT'S IN MY EYES! Everyone back inside now!"
Are you ready for this summer to get a little ... chaotic? Get ready for Camp Chaos VBS! This summer, you and your kids can spend a few days at a campsite in the forest. But watch out -- things are starting to get a little crazy at Camp Chaos.
Camp Chaos VBS focuses on three of the Gospels’ most chaotic stories. Together, we will learn how Jesus is our peace
in a chaotic world.
If you would like to volunteer to help with VBS this year, please contact Lisa Gallagher at lgallagher@oapc.us.
