Community

• at ORLC – all are welcome! In addition to the regular church goers, often non-regular folks drop in on a Sunday morning, whether they are local or from away

• we welcomed 14 new members during 2025, and are most delighted with their presence

• after worship fellowship takes place in the hall – it continues to be a great way to stay connected or to make new connections

• we are building as sense of community around music, through our coffee houses, concerts and the Forget-Me-Not Café, as well as occasional social events such as special meals, games nights and the Yuletide Feast

• we joined with ecumenical partners to invite the Penticton & Area community to Easter morning Sunrise Service in the Japanese Gardens

• we hosted the ecumenical Wise Elders’ sponsored Saturday Forum entitled A Changing Church in Changing Times as well as an ecumenical World Communion Sunday worship on October 4th & 5th
