Do you ever feel your faith is overshadowed by darkness? Or the world is so distracting that it obscures the Light of Christ? What will you choose? To embrace Christ? Or dwell in the darkness? OCF invites you to face these decisions in the upcoming academic year, as we strive together to Walk in the Light. Registration is open now, through December 1st.

We are excited for the 2024 Hellenic Dance Festival in Orlando, Florida at the Caribe Royale Resort! The theme for HDF 2024 is “Imagine.” In Matthew 5:1-12, we read the Beatitudes and begin to imagine what Christ says we could experience, such as: the Kingdom of Heaven, being comforted, inheriting the earth, being filled, mercy, seeing God, being called a child of God, reward in Heaven. Imagining such beauty is inspiring and empowering to be what Christ calls us to be: poor in spirit, mournful, meek, hungry and thirsty for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, persecuted because of righteousness, Rejoicing and Glad!
