The world right now is frazzled, frustrated and frenzied but Jesus invites us to follow him to a different way. Can we become un-distracted in a world overwhelmed with noise? Let's take some time and refocus our attention on what it looks like follow Jesus in a new sermon series.

Sundays Online Stream
Gather with us this Sunday in-person or digitally at 10am! Digital gathering will be hosted on our homepage (ocalagrace.org) and on our Youtube page.
Zoom “After-Party” Call @ 11:00am on Sunday
Since moving to a live-stream format we want to ensure we’re allowing time and space for everyone to connect even if they are feeling distant. To facilitate this we’ll be hosting a Zoom call at 11:00am on Sundays for those who want to connect, but aren’t comfortable gathering in-person. Click the link below to join the call.
