Our Mission: To walk with Christ and neighbor, healing brokenness together.
on-line worship only
Services are live-streamed on YouTube at 9am on Sunday mornings and can be heard via radio at 97.5FM. With the COVID numbers rising and us feeling the need for additional restrictions to our in-person service, we have decided that online worship is a more robust and authentic way to express our praise to God in a way that is less inhibited at this time.
Sunday School (on Saturdays)
‘Zoom’-ing with Jesus! Students can join Pastor Tobi on Saturday mornings at 9am on zoom for a different approach to Sunday School, worship, and faith formation. We’ll sing a couple of songs, maybe watch a video, hear the week’s Bible story, have some conversation with the message, and do some show-and-tell. This isn’t just any zoom classroom —we’re going to be zooming with Jesus through Word and song. Join by logging onto zoom and use Meeting ID: 881 5326 0740; Passcode: 112716
Justice Journey
|
Journey with us as we listen to stories of justice and injustice, discuss ways in which we can become part of the solution, and collaborate together to make those solutions a reality. From January through June, the 2nd Sunday of the month at 7pm, we hear the story of a local individual. These zoom sessions will be recorded for those who are not able to join us. On the 4th Sunday at 7pm, those who have participated in or watched the first session will have the opportunity to discuss together. This session is NOT recorded. Please contact Alissa for the link to the second monthly session.

Bible Studies
Tuesday, 1:00pm
We will begin "Parables from the Backside" on Tuesday, November 10th on Zoom.

Please join us as we learn a new way to think about the Parables! Contact Karrie Lickliter @ discipleship.oslc@gmail.com or call the church office (402-483-4126) for the Zoom link. Everyone is welcome! |

In the season of Lent, we’re reminded that, again and again, suffering and brokenness find us. We doubt again, we lament again, we mess up again. Again and again, the story of Jesus on the cross repeats—every time lives are taken unjustly, every time the powerful choose corruption and violence, every time individuals forget how to love. With exacerbation we exclaim, “Again?! How long, O God?” And yet, in the midst of the motion blur chaos of our lives, God offers a sacred refrain: “I choose you, I love you, I will lead you to repair.” Again and again, God breaks the cycle and offers us a new way forward.
In this season, we need rituals—both old and new—to remember and be transformed. Embodied practice builds muscle memory. Repetition helps retrain our neural pathways. We encourage you to walk through these weekly readings and prompts at your own pace throughout the season, following the rhythm that works best for you. May the art, reflections, and poetry strengthen and stretch you, shaping you into a more faithful disciple.
This Lent, may God’s steadfast love cradle our laments. May God’s grace wash over our weariness. And may we bring all of who we are to God—trusting that God will meet us, time and again, along the way.
Artfully yours,
The Sanctified Art Creative Team
