This year's Fall Festival took place on Sunday, October 25th. Due to the wind, the festival was moved inside the building, but that didn't slow the fun down. Thank you to Kellyn Means for organizing the event and to everyone who helped make the day so special for our kids! Living life together is such a blessing!

On Saturday, October 24th, our OA family was blessed with another opportunity to show the love of Christ to our community. Thanks for everyone who helped out –from prayers, to food, to volunteering, we couldn't do this without you!

Congratulations to Steven Ritchie (coworker and friend of Seth Doxey) and Karsen Majors who were baptized on Sunday, October 18th! We are so excited for our newest brother and sister in Christ!

On Monday, October 5th, our middle schools had their monthly devo at the McCoy's home. The kids enjoyed a yummy dinner, competed in a candy corn challenge, and talked about purity and 2 Timothy 2:22  during the devotional. The night was full of laugher and maximum fellowship! Save the date for next month's middle school devo on Monday, November 2nd.

Our OA men  had an amazing time at the Ballard Estate in Melbourne, FL over the October 2nd–4th weekend! Thank you Dave Allen for bringing it together and helping us make some amazing memories together!

The theme for the weekend was “Anchored,” and the lessons focused on being anchored to right and wrong things. Another major focus was the importance of building strong male friendships. Thanks to Thomas Smith, Tristan Grant, and Keith O’Neal for bringing messages that challenged us to be a band of brothers. Over the weekend, the fellas enjoyed incredible food and fellowship. It was a perfect weekend!
