Dear Members,
Are you connected to other believers who are on fire for the Lord? With so much happening around us—good, bad and ugly—we can become distracted and dull in our relationship with God and each other.
Fellowship is designed to keep the fire burning. Even with social distancing, we can still stay connected with one another using technology. We are grateful to Dr. Evans and our OCBF family for keeping the fire burning as we experience God together.
