LOVING GOD WITH OUR MINDS
“Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
– Matthew 22:36-37
Christian Education is where we seek to love God with our minds, and it is a life-long process. We at OPPC believe that we should never stop being “learners.” Adult Education programs at OPPC offer adults at all stages of life the chance to deepen their knowledge of the Bible and grow in their faith. Opportunities are offered throughout the year in a variety of formats so that all may find ways in which to grow and mature as Christian believers.
BIBLE STUDIES, CLASSES, AND GROUPS
SUNDAY MORNINGS AFTER SERVICE MIND THE GAP IN ROOM 115
To “Mind the Gap” is to be aware of – and bridge-spaces in
our lives: between who we are and who God is calling us to be, or between different generations, social classes, or faiths.
Our class welcomes all, of any age and faith experience: young adults to great-grandparents, those new to Orchard Park as well as those who have been members for decades.
We learn from each other as we share our life experiences and questions.
Led by Rob Peterson, Email jrp221@att.net with questions or to be added to our email list for updates.

SUNDAY MORNINGS AFTER SERVICE KING DAVID IN THE NORTH CHAPEL STARTING APRIL 27TH
David (Preparing To Rule) God used a man named David to further his Kingdom…a man of honor, integrity, loyal,
and deep relationships. A man who loved, grieved, rejoiced, created lasting poetry and music, and worshipped the one true God YHWH. He was not flawless but he had an insight (see Psalms 51) into his LORD that few possessed. He was David….shepherd, warrior, artist, friend, parent, and king.
