The sacrament of Holy Communion will be offered in worship at Okemos Community Church next on Thursday, April 5^th, at 7:30 pm, as part of our Maundy Thursday worship service.  If you would like the sacrament brought to you in your home, please phone the Okemos Community Church office at 517-349-4220.  Arrangements will be made for one of the pastors to visit you.

Each year Okemos Community Church is pleased to present Bibles to our high school graduates.  For the past few years we have been able to purchase these Bibles from the Charles E. Piper memorial fund.  However, the fund, which began with a healthy balance from generous contributors, has now been depleted.  Charlie was a wonderful person with a love for young people.  If you would like to continue his legacy with a contribution to the memorial fund in his name, it would be greatly appreciated.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Paul Hartman by e-mail, plhartman@okemoscommunitychurch.org or call the Okemos Community Church office at 517-349-4220.
