What happened today at the OU is more rare than “once in a blue moon.” We had TWO camera crews doing interviews this morning at St. Luke’s. We felt pretty popular! We had a great time with Amy Lacey and her crew from Virginia Currents and Constance Jones with her crew from WRIC News. Thank you so much for the interest and we look forward to seeing the end results.
And thank you to Gene, Susie, Hal and Ken, as well as the classroom participants, who were filmed! We will let everyone know when the stories will air. Until then, enjoy the photos!

I hope everyone is in for a great talk this Wednesday! Father Michael Renninger, pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church, will present Whistle While You Work: The Spiritual Message of Famous Disney Songs. Intrigued? I am!
Instead of meeting in our usual meeting room downstairs, we will be upstairs in the Upper Commons. Please come join us for this free event. Lunch is at Noon – bring a sandwich and the church will supply chips and the like (as well as special cookies, I hear). The Father will begin his presentation at 12:30 pm. You won’t want to miss this!
Hello Thursday OU Students –
I met with the administrator at First Presbyterian last week to discuss the church’s revised Child & Youth protection policy which has prompted them to make some changes in their building. Following is a summary of the changes to help you navigate the building. The church will place signs indicating no access areas.
You will still enter through the same door adjacent to the parking lot, using the buzzer at the right of the door when locked. On the first floor, the hallway along the Fellowship Hall will be open to the end, including the stairwell which can still be used. However, you will no longer be able to continue down the hallway to the right past this stairwell.
The restrooms on the first floor will still be accessible, but there is no access beyond them.
On the second floor, when exiting the elevator, there is no longer access to the right down the hallway. To get to the classrooms where OU meets, you will need to walk around the hallway to your left. The second floor is a rectangle, so you can go all the way around. Another option, for those able to take the stairs, is to use the stairway at the end of the hallway by the Fellowship Hall.
And finally, concerning the restrooms on the second floor, please do not use the ones across from Room 218, close to the elevators. Those are for the preschool only. There is another set of restrooms around the corner, on either side of Room 209, for OU students.
We will be available on site to help everyone navigate these changes. I thank you for your understanding and look forward to another great year of lifelong learning together. See you on the 26th – Julie
