U.S. Senate Chaplain to Speak at Church
- Share via
More than 2,000 people are expected to hear Lloyd Ogilvie, chaplain of the U.S. Senate, give an address Sunday to the congregation of Ventura Missionary Church.
Ogilvie, a pastor since 1956, was named one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English-speaking world last year by Baylor University.
He was elected 61st chaplain of the Senate in 1995. Duties of the nonpartisan, nonsectarian position include opening each day’s session with a prayer, and counseling senators, their families and staff.
A prolific author with more than 40 books to his credit, Ogilvie’s Ventura visit coincides with Ventura Missionary Church’s 37th anniversary.
A continental breakfast begins at 8 a.m. before the 9:30 outdoor service. A shuttle service to transport worshipers begins at 8:45 a.m. at the parking lot of Temple Beth Torah, 7620 Foothill Road.
