In this summer sermon series we’re going to look at life’s most basic issues: money, sex, family, work, reputation, possessions and God.

We’ll answer questions like:

- How can I build a successful foundation for a successful life
   and family?
- What are the values that last?
- How can I help my children develop personal character?
- What are the practical benefits of living by God’s “Top 10”?

Are you interested in Work & Witness but need to stay local?  There's a perfect opportunity right here in Tucson!   Every third Saturday of the month (starting in June), OVCN will be partnering with New Life Community Church in a food distribution program to the poor and needy in Tucson.  From 8:30 am - 2 pm we assist in unloading food from several delivery trucks, set up tables, and help to hand out food. This is a perfect opportunity for your small group to be in service together!  Contact Dick Egolf at 818-0785 for more information.
