Thanksgiving/ Christmas Gift Cards

Blessings from OLPC for families in need at the holidays.

A very big thank you to the OLPC congregation and friends for your generous monetary gifts at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

When we asked for donations to purchase Aldi food cards for Thanksgiving, we hoped to have five $50 cards to give to families for food for the holiday.

We received $700! So, we were able to bless 6 families (21 children) with food for Thanksgiving.

But we weren’t done yet. We assisted a family of eleven at Christmas and we donated two gift cards to Germantown Avenue Crisis Ministry and to Family Promise to add to their ministry.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

–Cathy Smith, chair of Church and Community.

Easter 2025 at OLPC

Easter 2025 at OLPC was a very busy day.

First, Miss Joan shared the resurrection story with the Sunday School students.

Second, the congregation enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Everyone was invited to pose for pictures with the Easter Bunny.

Third, the children took part in the Easter Egg Hunt on the lawn. They searched for eggs filled with candy and money. Each child received a bag of candy.

Fourth, was our Easter service. During the service, Morgan was baptized. In addition, David, Joshua, Leah, and Morgan were confirmed. We were treated to wonderful music played on the organ, guitar, violin, and trumpet.

Lastly, we celebrated our newly confirmed youth with cake and juice. A egg-cellent time was had by every bunny.
