Did you know White Sulphur Springs offers seasonal

Did you know White Sulphur Springs offers seasonal staff opportunities during its summer and winter programs? Youths and young adults ages 15+ are welcome and encouraged to serve in one of many roles ranging from housekeeping to cooks assistant to camp counselor during the June-August programs. Similarly, men and women ages 18+ can volunteer for up to 2.5 weeks over Christmas and New Year's during WSS' Winter Retreat season. 🏕️

Roles during these ministry seasons are a missionary calling where servants of Jesus Christ set aside time to give themselves in His service and minister in His name to the military community.

Visit whitesulphursprings.org/summer-staff/ or whitesulphursprings.org/winter-staff for more information, and keep an eye out for Summer Staff applications every winter and Winter Staff applications every fall. 💻

From CPO Dave & Karen Wittman, USN (Ret.), Local Leaders at Keesler AFB OCF and NCBC Gulfport OCF: "We had a great night in our combined ACCTS, Officers' Christian Fellowship (OCF), #cmfhq, Gulf Coast Military Ministries Bible Study. Our discussion was about sharing the gospel with others in a world that is often misguided and easily offended. Romans 1:16 says, 'For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.'

"Gulf Coast Military Ministries is a group of International Military, US Military, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Red Cross who believe in the power of Jesus Christ. #keeslerchapel #ncbcchapel "

From Youth Programs Managers Steele and Natalie Se

From Youth Programs Managers Steele and Natalie Sessions about the Holistic Health Workshop, the newest signature program at @wssocf: "We have a heart to help the Church out of the chronic pain and illness that so many of us are stuck in. We believe God designed our bodies well and that culture, like it has in other aspects of life, has distorted our food and healthcare system, robbing us of many of the simple joys of God’s gifts to the body.

"This retreat is not primarily about discipline, but about how we can approach our daily life and choices as an act of thankful and Spirit-filled worship to glorify God through the stewardship of our bodies.

"We will learn together, not by simply sitting in a room and flipping through a PowerPoint, but through interactive movement workshops, through actually eating wholesome, nutritious locally sourced meals, and through small group discussions with experienced and faithful clinicians, farmers, and experts who take a holistic approach to medicine. We will do all of this in a way that honors God and His word."

Learn more about this new event by visiting the link in our bio, and keep an eye on whitesulphursprings.org/events for future workshops! 🌱🍽️📚

Q: How does one balance or integrate OCF involveme

Q: How does one balance or integrate OCF involvement with commitment to the local church? 🤝

A: Going off of the comments here of OCF Council President Col Dale Holland, USAF (Ret.), a parachurch ministry like OCF needs its members to be part of a visible church, so if your church has membership, then we want you to be a member of a church so that you can be under its oversight. We cannot be “para” church (meaning an organization working alongside the visible church) unless there is a church body to which OCF members are connected. ⛪️

Here are a few practical ways you can participate fully in your local church while simultaneously leading and participating in OCF activities:
• The church should see that they are sending out laborers into the military mission field. Help your local church understand the way they are equipping you through the preaching of God’s Word, through church family relationships, and through caring oversight. 📚
• See if your church can develop a fast-track method for military membership so these folks can get involved and volunteer or serve within the church soon after arrival. 📝
• Help your church use the right words to welcome the military through online visibility. Encourage them to greet new people at services and find ways to help deployed individuals and families. 💬
• Help set up volunteer teams to assist PCS transitions (moving boxes, watching children, providing food, or helping clean). 📦
• Ask your church to call/text/email you and make sure your feet are firmly planted back in a solid church and OCF fellowship at your new duty station after you PCS. 🌍

Visit ocfusa.org/handbook/chapter22 to find more ideas, and let us know in the comments how you stay involved in your local church and in OCF!

OCF, being interdenominational, must not attempt t

OCF, being interdenominational, must not attempt to lay down any particular view about the two sacraments instituted by our Lord—holy communion and baptism. Therefore, the notes on these subjects are brief. 📝

Brevity does not, however, imply unimportance, for such “means of grace” have a definite position in all Christian denominations. It will not be amiss to issue a warning that there is a danger of any religious ceremony becoming “a form of godliness but denying its power” (2 Timothy 3:5).

Do not let ritual take the place of reality. A sacrament is “an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual reality”—no good can come simply from that which is outward and visible alone. Loyalty to one’s spiritual heritage, of whatever denomination, has its place and much is to be gained from enjoying your church’s fellowship and supporting its services. But mere “Churchianity” is not Christianity. ✝️

See John 6:63. It is the spirit and was given before the Lord’s Supper was instituted. Baptism and confirmation may be likened to a check which requires personal endorsement before the cash can be received. There is no virtue or merit in the rites by themselves.
