Great Lent Giveaway (GLG) |
The Great Lent Giveaway was designed as a way for our youth to learn about the beauty of Great Lent and instill in them that Great Lent is not only a time of fasting but a time to do good works and of contemplation, while preparing for the death and Glorious Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The 2009 program and programs from past years are provided below. They may be used during Great Lent or be adapted for use during your normal Youth Group Sessions. The GLG is a partnership of the OYM and the Jr. Ukrainian Orthodox League. |

What is OCPM? |
In 1991, Metropolitan PHILIP, primate of the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America, asked Father Duane Pederson, a highly experienced prison minister, to establish a prison ministry for the Archdiocese. In 2005, His Eminence graciously offered the Archdiocese's prison ministry to SCOBA. Shortly thereafter, OCPM was chartered by SCOBA as its official prison ministry. The vision of OCPM is to minister to prisoners and their families by mobilizing the Church to work in this important vineyard of the Kingdom of Heaven. The goal is to bring the love of Christ to those who are in prison by providing encouragement, material support, transition and reintegration services, Christian education, spiritual guidance and the sacramental life of the Church to prisoners and their families. The additional goal is not only to minister to prisoners, but to minister to people on the outside-people like you-by giving them the opportunity to participate in this powerful ministry where the strongholds of the Evil One are demolished and true liberty, the liberty that can only be found in Jesus Christ, is proclaimed to captives. |
