Please join us on Sunday, April 27th at 10:00 am for our Founder's Day Joint Worship Service and Potluck Luncheon as we celebrate God's faithfulness and the history of the Holiness Church. Our Guest speaker will be Rev. Michio Okawa, retired pastor of the Holiness Conference.
For food assignments, contact Shirley Yamagata.
Our Conference observes Founder’s Day on the last Sunday of each April (April 27 this year) to remember and honor the men and women who pioneered and faithfully served in the churches of the OMS Holiness Church of North America. This year marks the 104th year since the founding of the Los Angeles Holiness Church in 1921.
Each Founder's Day, special offerings are collected through our local church members in recognition and appreciation of the dedicated service of our retired pastors and widows. These offerings are forwarded by the local churches to a special Conference fund that is used to subsidize Medicare Part B insurance premiums for eligible retirees. Special green Founder's Day offering envelopes will be available at church or you can designate on your own offering envelopes or online, "Founder's Day."
Last year, we were blessed to receive approximately $19,000 in Founder's Day offerings from the local churches, which provided added financial support for the eligible retired pastors and widows.
Thank you for your generous support.
