SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT
Worship and Bible Study
For many, the Sunday Morning Service in The Temple is the highlight of the Ocean
Park week. Glorious music provided by the Temple Choir, the Bell Choir and the
Temple Brass, great congregational singing, and thoughtful, inspiring sermons by
guest preachers from a variety of denominations combine to make these services
uniquely moving events. This summer’s series begins on Sunday, June 22 at 10:00 am
and continues each Sunday through August 31.
Parents are invited to make use of the Nursery for pre-school children during the
Temple worship service each Sunday, from 9:45 to 11:15 am. The Nursery is located
in Jordan Hall, where experienced adult supervision is provided.
School-aged children are welcome to sit with their families in the Temple Worship.
For them Temple Tote Bags are provided and may be obtained at the main entrance.
In the Totes are colorful Bible stories, pencil and crayon activities with a Christian
theme, and quiet thought suggestions for kids. Children who attend worship early will
grow to do so later in life.
Four of this summer’s preachers will also offer Morning Watch Bible Studies in
Porter Hall, 9:00-10:30 am: Nick Carter, July 7-9; Marcia Bailey, July 14-16; Scott
Campbell, August 4-5; and Doug Scalise August 18-21. See the Daily Calendar entries
for details.
Ocean Park originally celebrated vesper worship on the beach and in recent years in
the Grove next to The Temple. This summer Vespers Services will be in the refurbished
Temple Garden and Pergola across the street from the Temple (Porter Hall in event of
rain). There will be three Vespers services, Sunday evenings 5-5:30 on June 29, August
3, and August 31. Service leaders will be announced later in the season.
