Stories from the Fields

Since October 3^rd, 2008, Ocean Park Community Church has been directing functions from Edith Olsen Hall, while the remediation and restoration processes took place after the fire. Thank you for taking a moment to rejoice with us.  Little things you have meant to us, along the way, are certainly “No Little Things” and have been huge encouragements. Thank you. On Sunday, July 12, 2009, we had our first service back at 267^th & Vernon, with a rededication service and “new beginnings” in the main auditorium, followed by 3 baptisms, a wedding, a potluck, and convalescent ministry – all before 3 PM…Whew!  Ain’t GOD good? The Thursday night before, we had a special prayer meeting to consecrate ourselves & the site afresh. Saturday evening, we conducted a Praise & Appreciation Night, with nearly 75 in attendance. Sunday’s worship was great with nearly 70 present, and the willingness of a few special people helped us get things up and running with God’s aid.  Along the way, with the project at times being “off limits,” our son Jonathan was able to photo some of the activities, and has developed a multimedia film that you can view online.
