Call Process Update
We have another opportunity to nominate pastors to be considered for round two of our Call process. If you know of a pastor who you believe would be a wonderful fit for ORLC, we encourage you to complete a nomination form and place it in the box on the Connection Table by November 10th. The compiled forms will be sent to the District Office for consideration to be added to the Call list.
If you have questions or need assistance in this matter, please reach out to Jerry Simpson or another Elder or staff.
Thank you for your continued prayers and participation in this important process!

UPCOMING EVENTS
Fall Fest | Friday Nov. 6th
Memory Cafe | Friday Nov. 13th
Beans Cafe Collection | Through November 15th
Share the Warmth This Winter
Bean’s Café is collecting winter clothing to help keep members of our community warm this season. We will be collecting donations now through November 15.
Items currently needed include new men’s underwear, winter coats, winter boots, sweatpants and sweatshirts, new socks, hats, and gloves.
Gently used winter clothing is welcome unless the item is specifically listed as new. Please consider adding an item or two to your shopping list or checking your closets for winter gear you’re ready to pass along.
Together, we can help share a little warmth with our neighbors this winter!
Thanksgiving Blessing | Through Nov. 22nd
ORLC is collecting 200 individual boxes of stuffing for this year’s Thanksgiving Blessing, and we’d love your help reaching our goal!
When you’re shopping, please grab a box or two and bring them to church by
Sunday, November 22.
Important little stuffing note: Please purchase individual boxes only, not the double-pack boxes. That helps us make sure each Thanksgiving Blessing receives the right amount.
Every box gets us one step closer to helping provide a warm Thanksgiving meal for families in our community. Let’s see if we can hit 200!
Operation Christmas Child | November 15th @ 9:00am
Operation Christmas Child Collection
We are collecting items for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes! Your donations will help fill shoeboxes with practical items, fun surprises, and reminders of God’s love for children around the world.
Click the link for a full list of suggested items, or pick up a printed copy from the Youth Connections Board at church.
Thank you for helping us fill these boxes with joy, hope, and love this Christmas season! ❤️
