OGN 2010

Hey Parents,

If you're looking for a great week to train your student how to understand, own, and live out their faith in Jesus, then look no further than the life changing week we call "OGN".

It's all about bonding, having spiritual conversations, learning how to articulate their faith, worship, and so much more. If your son or daughter chooses to get involved with this week, they will come away with a deeper understanding of what the Bible teaches and a serious chance to wrestle with what that means for their life. We have nothing in our ministry program that will challenge and inspire them more than this week.

In early April, our website with exact details will be up and running at www.ognsd.com But, in the mean time, you can save the date and start saving some money for this week with your student.

JUNE 29-JULY 5 @ Pt. Loma Nazarene college.

$445.

Sign ups, applications, and brochures will officially be available on Easter Weekend, 2010.
