Can you believe June is upon us? Keep up with everything that's happening at Oceanside this month!

This past Sunday, Hannah lead us through a message on Acts 1 & 2 about Spirit baptism and the gift of speaking in tongues. If you're unfamiliar with any of the foregoing, get ready to be inspired and challenged! Come Holy Spirit, come.

Oceanside Community Church recently adopted an abuse prevention policy (through Plan to Protect) to protect the vulnerable people who attend our church. Having these policies in place builds trust with our community, and a high standard of care will show our community that our church is a safe space and that ministry personnel and volunteers are safe people.

Two great morning services were capped off with some tasty cake and great fellowship time this past Sunday at Oceanside Community Church.

We are also so thankful for our special evening worship & prayer service. We spent lots of time soaking and singing in the presence of the Lord, praying for each other, and being prayed for.

Oceanside Community Church is funded by the generous giving of our church community. Your faithful tithing and giving helps support important programs in our church and helps us to provide services and support to the wider Oceanside area.

Please pray for those who received Spirit Baptism this past Pentecost Sunday, and for those that continue to humbly seek it. This gift is not confined to one day of the year. Let us pray without ceasing for humble, surrendered hearts and that the Holy Spirit will fall afresh upon the Oceanside Community Church family. Pray that we may be emboldened and empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel effectively to those around us.

Pray and speak the name of Jesus over those among us who are seeking to overcome addictions. May God break the chains of these addictions and behaviours and replace them with the freedom that is in the Spirit of the Lord.

We give praise for physical healings that have been experienced by members of our Oceanside family and their extended families in the past few weeks. We offer thanks to God for being present in some very difficult situations and for providing strength, guidance, love, and comfort. We pray that the light of His presence continues to be a transformational power within these families.
