Click here to join us online every Wednesday at 6:30am to pray together for our community and beyond.

Summer formation groups are spaces for shared learning, thoughtful conversation, spiritual practices, and shared life. Rather than simply consuming ideas, we're shaped together through attention to God, one another, and the way of Christ. Groups may center around theology or meaningful texts, while others emphasize spiritual disciplines, practices, or conversation. All of them share a common desire for intentional growth in community. Click here to pick a summer formation group you'd like to join, starting mid-June!

Beginning Sunday, 6/14 @ 10am
With rising temperatures and the arrival of summer we will transition to the Parish Hall for service on Sunday mornings beginning this Sunday, June 14. There are two ways to enter - through the regular glass double doors on SE 60th or through the second floor doors at the top of the stairs adjacent to the playground.

Sunday, 7/26
As many families head out on summer vacations, our Sunday morning class sizes can vary quite a bit. To help things run smoothly, we’ll occasionally combine classes when it makes sense. We’ll announce any planned changes ahead of time when possible, but there may be some last-minute adjustments if only a few children are present. Feel free to check with a teacher during the Passing of the Peace. Have questions? Contact Sasha Cox, Director of OP Kids, at sasha@oaksparish.org.

The next OP Kids park playdate is Friday, August 7th from 10am-12pm at Happy Valley Park! Meet by the splash pad and decide between water play or the playground. We’ll provide a cool treat. Bring swimwear, towels, water, sunscreen, and other park essentials for your kiddos. Hosted by Martha Van Houten (martha@oaksparish.org).
