GEOGRAPHICAL SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDIES - - This Fall we will be starting several geographical small groups to provide further discipleship growth opportunities. If you or someone you know is interested in hosting a group or being trained to lead a group please contact DCE Lamar. Small Groups will have the flexibility to study and work through various topics depending on what fits their needs. Small Groups will provide an opportunity for deeper connection with other individuals as well as a more involved growth opportunity in ones life.

Men's Breakfast Bible Study (MBBS) - Every week on Friday morning a group of men from ORLC meet for food, fellowship and Bible study. The food starts anywhere from 6:00 a.m. on and the study begins at 6:30. Each week I send a reminder email to the 40 men that I have email addresses for. Only a few show up and it is usually the same few. We have room for a few more and with a little effort we can make room for many more. We understand that for some the time is a bit early and for some it would not be possible because of the work schedule. Please consider taking part in a class on a different day or evening. Let me know when you would prefer a class to be held that you could attend. We have some good class leaders, or perhaps you would like to lead a class(?). Breakfast is included!
