**OLC Launches Annual Appeal in the Wake of Destructive Fire**

On the evening of June 10th, a fire broke out at our beloved retreat center. Thankfully, everyone is safe, and we are incredibly grateful to the Farmington Volunteer Fire Dept. for their swift response, which helped prevent extensive damage.

Although the fire was contained quickly, smoke, soot, and water damage have impacted the entire building. We are currently assessing the situation and beginning the cleanup, restoration, and reconstruction process.

We kindly ask for your prayers and patience as we navigate this challenge. We’re also evaluating how this will affect our upcoming retreats and programs and will keep you updated.

Our hearts remain hopeful, and with God’s grace and your support, we trust that OLC will soon be restored to the peaceful, welcoming space we all cherish.

🙏 Thank you for your continued support. Learn how you can help!
