Tina Owens and Anne Williams at OCP

Anne Williams of WNRN's "Acoustic Sunrise" and Tina Owens of WMRA's "Acoustic Cafe" visited us last week and told us how we could get our music onto their shows.  Start the video at 46 seconds (sorry about the editing glitch) to hear the very interesting full discussion at OCP.

A Warm Welcome to Spring

Hopefully this warm weather is here to stay! 
The sun decided to come out, and so did everyone else at OCP :)



 Mike happily prepared fresh cut fruit for lunch today.


 A friendly fellow admired the remaining plants from last weekend's plant sale.


Jonathan planted some raspberries!


JMU students donated hand-decorated potted pansies (try saying that 10 times fast!).



And bikes were a fixin'.

Learning About Our Planet

Did you know that caribou make the longest land migration? Neither did we.

Today, OCP watched Planet Earth and learned some fun facts about nature along the way.

Crafts: Earth-style

It's Earth Month at OCP! This afternoon we crafted in the sunshine.
We painted rocks, made candle holders, and painted with sticks!

Happy Wednesday!

A group of community members went on a beautiful hike this morning.
Others stayed behind job searching, playing ping pong, and making lunch.

Arts and Crafts

This morning OCP members were busy little bees making thank you notes for everyone who contributed to our Job Resource Fair. Thank you again, we couldn't have made it possible without our supporters! Check out our lovely handmade envelopes below:

A Shakespearian Wednesday


This morning our community viewed Shakespeare Behind Bars, an inspiring documentary about twenty Kentuckian inmates and their road to forgiveness and healing through the creative process of theatre.







If you'd like to know more about the film, feel free to jump over here: http://www.shakespearebehindbars.com


Our furry friend distracted me from photographing, and struck a pose behind some branches from our Palm Sunday celebration.
