OCC PACKING PARTY

Join us on Friday, November 6, at 6:00 PM in the Family Life Centre for our Operation Christmas Child Packing Party! Everyone is welcome as we come together to pack shoeboxes with the items generously donated throughout the year. These boxes will bring joy and share the love of Jesus with children around the world this Christmas. We hope you’ll join us!

SIPS AND SCRIPTURES

Join the Women’s Ministry for Sips & Scripture on Saturday, November 7, from 9:30–11:30 AM! Enjoy a cozy morning of fellowship, Scripture, warm beverages, and delicious pastries. Come slow down, connect with other women, and be refreshed by God’s Word and one another. Sign up at the Welcome Desk and join us for this special morning together!

CLEAR THE BARNS

Join us on Saturday, November 7, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm as we clean out the church barns! Items available for pickup will include scrap lumber, unused decorations, old furniture and desks, and other miscellaneous items. All items must be picked up by 2:00 pm. Stop by and see if there’s something you can put to good use!

FAMILY SUNDAY

Sunday, November 8, is a Family Sunday! KidZone children will join their families for worship during the 11:00 AM service.

 

WeeKidz will remain open during the second service. KidZone children may still be dropped off during Sunday School classes at 9:45 AM, but we ask that parents pick them up when their class ends, before the 11:00 AM worship service begins.

 

Looking Ahead: Our next Family Sunday will be Sunday, December 27. Both KidZone and WeeKidz will be closed that day.

 

We look forward to worshiping together as a church family!

THANKSGIVING PROJECT

This Thanksgiving, we’re helping local families in need by providing Thanksgiving meal kits! Bags with a list of needed nonperishable food items are available in the church foyer. Please take a bag, shop for the listed items, and return your filled bag to the foyer by Sunday, November 15.

 

We are also accepting monetary donations to purchase frozen turkeys to include in each meal kit. Please bring donations to the Church Office by November 15.

 

Would you like to help assemble and deliver the meal kits? We’d love to have you be a part of this outreach! Please let Jeri or Megan in the Church Office know if you’re interested in volunteering.

 

Thank you for helping us share God’s love and bless others in our community this Thanksgiving season!
