We welcome you to worship, fellowship and learn together as we experience the presence of Jesus. It is our hope that you are able to connect with the God that loves you and experience the change that comes through growth.

We have awesome environments for them to learn about God on their level, babies through 6th grade. If you've got a fussy baby, there is a family room out the rear east door of the sanctuary with live feed of the service and access to a nursing room as well.

Everyone here had a first time at some point, and we're glad you're here with us. We would appreciate it if you filled out the guest card at this link: oronaz.org/new

THE EMPTYING WAY SERIES: During this Lenten season we will be on a journey taking us through Holy Week to Easter:

· LENT MESSAGES -Sundays at 10am, through Easter Sunday, April 12th.

· LENT GROUPS - Join us as we continue in the Lent Season of preparation to discuss and pray together on our journey to the Cross. “Lent Groups” continue Sundays, 4-5:30pm, through Palm Sunday, April 5, in the Fellowship Hall. Childcare available.

· STATIONS OF THE CROSS-Friday, April 10, 12 noon-4pm.

· TENEBRAE SERVICE-IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST we will have our Tenebrae Service on Good Friday, Apr 10, at 6pm. The word “tenebrae” is Latin for “shadows” or “darkness,” recalling the apparent triumph of darkness on Good Friday, and Matthew’s reference to the increasing darkness that covered the earth as Jesus hung on the cross. During our service, the Sanctuary will progressively darken to remind us of the hopelessness that many felt on that day. Communion will be observed as we prepare ourselves for our true Easter celebration. Nursery care provided (6 wks to 2yrs)
