To prepare for Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth, Pastor Mark Green has written a Christmas devotional, "Ten Christmas Truths." It began on December 9 and will continue through Christmas Eve. It is set up like the monthly Bible Reading Plans; available on the OC App and at facebook.com/groups/ocdevotionals (click on “join” to have it appear on your newsfeed). If you have notifications turned on in the OC APP for “Bible Reading Plan/Devotions,” you will get a daily reminder at 7:00 a.m. with a link to the day’s Christmas devotional. You can also download a copy of the Christmas devotional each week at otterbeinchurch.org/bible-reading-plans.

On the weekend of December 14 & 15, we will have a special Christmas Worship Celebration that will include our adult choir, worship team, children’s dance ministry, a message from Pastor Mike, and much more. It will be a great way to celebrate the Christmas season. Join us on Saturday, December 14 at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. or choose to attend on Sunday, December 15 at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 a.m. Children's programs will be available at 9:30 & 11:00 a.m. with Youth program at 9:30 a.m. Nursery-Preschool ministry will be available for ALL service times.
