COFFEE & CAMARADERIE

Whether you’ve been to OPFOB before or not, this is a great opportunity to stop by, grab some coffee, and meet other local veterans and first responders like yourself. For new people, we will have tours of the facility so you can learn more about what we offer.
Coffee hour is from 9:00 - 10:00, and the open range for members only is from 10:30 - 12:00.
Please reach out to Mark Hicks at mark@OPFOB.org with any questions.

AA MEETINGS
WEDNESDAYS: 1900
Opfob BARN: 328 Lakeview Dr, Ridgeland, SC
Weekly AA meetings are held in the barn at OPFOB every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. They are closed meetings based on AA foundations and principles.
One of the main principles of AA is anonymity, and our meeting will, therefore, embrace that principle.
FELLOWSHIP & BIBLE STUDY
Thursdays: 0715 @ Corner Perk, upstairs, in downtown Bluffton
Saturdays: 1030 following Coffee & Camaraderie @ OPFOB, Ridgeland
Build meaningful relationships at our weekly gatherings where we discuss topics for study as a group.
Thursdays we meet upstairs at The Corner Perk in downtown Bluffton. The format will be a bit different as we will spend the first 15-20 minutes in fellowship while we enjoy our coffee. We will focus on the Tim Keller Book, Forgive, along with its study guide. All materials will be provided at no charge. Open to all members of OPFOB. If you miss a week, no problem; it’s easy to catch up with your group. If you have never opened a Bible or been in a study group, or if you have been studying Scripture for years, all are welcome! Questions? Reach out to Craig Ostergard 843-384-8980; craigostergard@yahoo.com.
VOLUNTEER DAY ON THE FOB
Fridays: 0900 - 1500 @ OPFOB
Meet in the barn at 9:00 AM with either Chris or Brett for the day's tasks. Standard weekly tasks will fall into event setup for Saturday's weekly Coffee & Camaraderie and grounds maintenance.
