*Overisel Reformed Church supports an outreach program called “Released Time” through Sandyview Elementary School. Released Time is a program in which parents may voluntarily permit their child(ren) to be “released” from class time during the school day for religious instruction. Participating children come to the church for approximately one hour for a Bible lesson, singing, and a time of prayer. Released Time is organized by parents of Sandyview children and, in the recent past, has been led by either the senior or associate pastor of ORC. A member of ORC, a former teacher from Sandyview, leads Released Time.

**Love in the Name of Christ is a faith-based and prayer-based ministry of outreach. It is a partnership with local community churches to help their members show God’s love in serving individuals and families with unmet needs.
