Announcements
We offer two services on Sundays. Morning Prayer at 8:30am and Morning Worship at 10:15am online and in-person, with Sunday School for all ages at 9:15am.
Sunday, Feb. 8th, after Morning Worship
Because of our congregation’s ongoing ministry to our unhoused neighbors, we know how critical it is for us expand our impact by working with the wider community to meet the needs of our city.
Make plans to stay after worship on Sunday, Feb. 1st, (snacks + childcare provided) to learn about how the Key to Home Partnership - a collaboration more than 50 organizations across OKC — works together to prevent and end homelessness in our community. The City of Oklahoma City’s Key to Home office serves as the lead agency for this partnership, with the shared goal of ensuring homelessness becomes rare, brief, and non-recurring. Key to Home (1) provides strategic oversight to the collaboration, (2) works to standardize and strengthen case management, data systems, and other core components of homeless services, and (3) designs programs that address high-priority needs, such as the Encampment Rehousing Initiative, which has housed more than 470 unsheltered neighbors in the last two years.
In the session, we will walk through these focus areas and take time to recognize and appreciate the meaningful, long-standing impact faith communities are already making, while also introducing additional innovative pathways congregations can take to strengthen housing entry and stability across OKC.

On Tuesday, February 10th, at 6pm, we welcome Holly Berkley Fletcher, a historian, essayist, former intelligence analyst, and author of The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism. Childcare is provided. We’ll be considering:
• What is a calling?
• How do you know you're called to do something?
• How can a sense of calling be destructive?
• How is the idea of calling influenced by culture?
• How has the idea of calling played out on a national level in American history?
Holly Berkley Fletcher is an author, historian, and former intelligence analyst. She was raised in Kenya by evangelical missionary parents. She earned a PhD in American history and taught in universities for several years before being hired as an Africa analyst by the Central Intelligence Agency, where she worked for nineteen years.
