Lent originated in the early centuries of church history as a time of preparation for Easter. It begins with Ash Wednesday and lasts until Holy Saturday, the Saturday before Easter. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, which includes both Maundy Thursday (commemorating the institution of the Lord's Supper) and Good Friday (commemorating the crucifixion of our Lord).  Reminiscent of Israel’s forty years in the wilderness and Jesus’ forty days of fasting in the wilderness, the Lenten season, not counting Sundays, lasts forty days. Sundays are not included because the Lord’s Day, according to church tradition, is never a fast day but always a feast day, a celebration of the resurrection.

This year we have created a number of free lenten resources for you to use & we have planned a number of lenten services.  Our hope with all these is that they help you more fully engage this Lenten season & that they take you to a deeper understanding, appreciation, & experience of the story of God.

Come join us for our Palm Sunday service at 10am on April 2nd.  At it we will be remembering this important day in the church calendar including a hosanna chorus.   It is sure to be a great service full of fantastic worship, prayer, communion, challenging teaching for all ages, & time to connect with others over coffee & refreshments.  

Join us for our Good Friday Service at 7pm on Friday April 7th.  This is a very interactive, creative service touching on many themes that mark this important day in the church calendar.  It's very different from our regular services & you won't want to miss it.  So, mark your calendar now & invite someone to come along with you!

As a response to the Covid-19 pandemic in our state we have identified 9 NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS throughout our city that have clusters of OneLifer’s in them.  These groups have been given at least one point person who will then proactively help each particular zone stay connected for prayer, community, & support during this time.

One of the things that is often missing for many of us in our church experience & church lives, is deeper connection with one another. We feel we don’t know people & we are not known. As much as we love being together on Sundays it’s just not enough to foster a real sense of connection & engagement. Core groups are one of our best ways to get plugged in & get connected. We are excited to be announcing the launch of our core groups. Core groups are small group gatherings that help us grow in our relationships with God & with one another.  Fore more information about our current core groups click THIS.  To sign up for a core group click HERE. 

Our KidsLife Program will be having a bunch of opportunities to care for & serve our community by partnering with the Hunger Intervention Program.

At OneLife Community Church we really want everyone to feel connected and known.  We understand that as a new person that is not always easy to do.  Our photo directory is a great tool to help deal with this as it helps put names to faces along with giving you the contact information you need to reach those you are getting to know.  Our photo directory is password protected so you will need the password in order to download it.  If you have the password and wish to have a copy on file for yourself please CLICK HERE.
