Week of Prayer for North American Missions (all-day)Mar 4
Leading up to our annual Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, Southern Baptists are encouraged to spend a week in prayer for this special offering and especially for the work of missions in North America. The North American Mission Board seeks to equip and send church planters throughout North America for the purpose of planting new churches. Here in the Bible-belt, we might think, “Don’t we have enough churches?” But the opposite is true. At the time of World War I, the church to population ratio was one church for every 430 persons. Today that has fallen to one church for every 6,194 persons! In Canada, it is much worse, at one church for every 123,971 persons. What is needed is strategic, focused church planting efforts bathed by prayer and funded by God’s generous people.

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny9:00 am – 11:00 am
We know that Easter is not about a bunny, but it is a fun way to provide an enjoyable environment for children in which they will hear a clear presentation of the Easter story. Breakfast with the Easter Bunny includes picture with the bunny, crafts and games, face-painting, an egg hunt, and of course, a yummy breakfast.

Easter Sunrise Service7:00 am – 8:00 am
Easter is the most significant event of the year. It is the day that we celebrate the complete defeat of sin, death, and Satan through the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Christ bore in his body and his soul the punishment for our sin, and when he rose on Easter morning, God declared that the debt was paid in full!
Since that morning, Christians have gathered at sunrise on Easter morning to proclaim the Lord’s resurrection. On this most special morning, we will gather at 7am to sing of his resurrection, and hear the story from his Word. Following this is a breakfast in the Fellowship Hall. After Sunday School, we will have a special Easter worship service at 11am. We invite you to join us to celebrate this most amazing event. He is risen!

Senior Adult Sunday11:00 am – 12:15 pm
Scripture teaches us to respect those who have laid the path of faith before us (Eph. 6:1-3, Lev. 19:32). At OBC, we try to do that every day, but one day a year we make a special effort to pay respect to our seniors. On this day, the seniors have a special part of our morning worship, and receive recognition from all. We invite you to join us for this special worship service.

Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gift Collection11:00 am – 11:00 am
Each year, our church collects Shoebox Gifts for third-world children. These gifts are distributed through Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child. The shoebox gifts should be accompanied with a check in the amount of $7.00 (written to Samaritan’s Purse) to cover the cost of shipping. This is a great way to show Christian love for those who have less than we.

Community Thanksgiving Service7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Each year, Ossipee Baptist participates in an annual Community Thanksgiving Service. This is a service in which many area churches worship together, focusing on Christian thankfulness. The location and the speaker for this service rotates each year. This always proves to be a worshipful time, as well as a great opportunity for Christians to worship with brothers and sisters from nearby churches. The service always takes place the Sunday evening before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Week of Prayer for Foreign Missions (all-day)Dec 2
Living in the center of gospel freedom and activity, it’s easy to forget that billions of people have never heard an understandable presentation of the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. Many live in countries that are closed and hostile to the gospel, others live in areas in which the Christian witness is so distorted that the gospel is unrecognizable. What is needed are more missionaries and more funding–but especially more prayer. At OBC, we commit to pray for our missionaries and the unreached people to which they are ministering, but we come together for a special week of prayer leading up to our annual Lottie Moon Ingathering for the International Mission Board. This important week of prayer should be a model for our prayer life for the whole year.

Lottie Moon Ingathering Offering11:00 am – 12:00 pm
The body of Christ is commanded to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations and peoples. Sadly, millions have never heard an understandable presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without calling on the name of Jesus Christ in faith and repentance, all are lost. We must take the saving message of Jesus Christ to all people. Each Christian is responsible for this most important task. A few of us are charged with actually going to the nations, but the rest of us are charged with supporting these missionaries. We support them primarily by prayer, but also monetarily. One of the most effective ways for us to support the spread of the gospel to those who have not heard is through the International Missions Board. The International Missions Board receives approximately half of it’s funding through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Each year at Christmas time, we hold a special Ingathering Offering for the IMB. This year, the offering will take place during the morning service of December 4th. Our goal this year is $1500.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing10:00 am – 8:30 pm
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettles
and ringing bells have become, for many, a symbol of Christmas. Each year, millions of Americans donate spare change into these Kettles, and that money is used to provide food, clothing, and gifts for local underprivileged families. OBC tries to help put in a small way by staffing one of these bell-ringing locations. Our location is the Lowe’s Foods of University Drive.

Christmas Musical Service11:00 am – 12:15 pm
Christmas is a time for singing, but not just any singing–singing to our Savior who’s birth is worth singing about. Each year, we hold a special Christmas morning service centered around proclaiming the Joy that came into the world in the form of a baby. This service is followed by a special Christmas lunch in the Fellowship Hall. It’s just not Christmas without singing about Christ.
