I finally took the time to update the website and make it somewhat functional. It still needs quite a bit of work but the important thing is you can sign up for our e-newsletter as well as our mail newsletter here:

http://www.oxenfree.org/newsletter/

This is a great way to keep in touch with us and get the latest updates on what we are doing.

Also, my Oxenfree e-mail is now up and running if you want to get in touch with us directly.

stephenz@oxenfree.org

Much love,

~Stephen

Last Harbor hosts a weekly Bible Study on Thursdays.

Oxenfree no longer officially sponsors community meals. They have grown into neighborhood potlucks hosted at four different houses each Tuesday night.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us, if you follow my Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/stephen.zumbrun. I make a Facebook event for the meals at the beginning of every month .
