OCIA/OCIC (ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS/CHILDREN)

Who will you bring to the Faith?

Have you been inviting anyone to come to the faith? Now is a most excellent time to invite someone to one of our Come and See Events. The time for us to be fishers of people is right now! Who do you know that is seeking to have their spiritual hungers satisfied? Who do you know who has been away from the faith for some period of time? Just as it took a personal invitation for the apostles to drop everything and follow Jesus, so it is also with people interested in joining the church. We need to courage and faith to be inviting people. Invite them to an overview of the OCIA process at one of our Come & See Events. Don’t leave your nets in the boat!

Sunday, August 27 @ 10:00 AM

Thursday, August 31 @ 6:30 PM

*Both dates we will be meeting in the Main Conference Room.
