The Church in Community
The reality of the fallen world we live in is that we all need help. We have all fallen short, and it is only by God's grace that we are enabled to continue to live and move and breathe.
Part of our mission at OSLC is to Love People and Live Like Jesus... we do this by serving one another, by meeting one another in our time of need.
