STUDENT MINISTRY NIGHT
This Sunday evening we’re inviting all 6th–12th graders and their parents to a special Student Ministry Night from 5:00–8:00 p.m.
We’ll start with open gym and a meal, move into a time of worship, and then open the floor around 7:30 for a conversation with Dan about the direction of our student ministry.
Parents are welcome the entire evening and especially encouraged to join us for that later portion. No heavy production—just a solid night together and clarity on what’s next.
Hope to see students and families there!
Also, Dan Stribling will be teaching the Student Ministry Sunday School class on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am in Room 104 for the foreseeable future.
OCC SEPTEMBER COLLECTIONS
Our Operation Christmas Child preparations are underway, and our goal this year is to pack more than 225 boxes.
Starting in September, we’ll be collecting games, toys, gloves, scarves, and hats to help fill our boxes.
Our Amazon Wishlist is available for easy ordering. Wishlist items ship directly to the church, and the quantities listed reflect what we currently need.
You can also donate $10 to help cover the shipping cost for a box.
Join us for our packing party on November 6 at 6:00 PM. Everyone is welcome, and we’ll need plenty of help to reach our goal of 225+ boxes.
Every box represents an opportunity to provide a child with a gift and let them know they are remembered.
MomCo
MomCo’s next meeting is Thursday, September 3! MomCo is a Christ-centered community for moms with children of all ages to find friendship, encouragement, and support. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month, and we want all moms to know that they are welcome and invited into our meetings! We’re also seeking Mentor Moms (women whose children are grown), childcare volunteers, and individuals or groups willing to provide a meal for a monthly meeting. If you’d like to participate as a mom or serve in one of these important roles, please contact the church office or Danielle Duregger at 812-249-9304.
KIDS BAPTISM CLASS
Has your child been asking about baptism? If you want to help them understand what baptism means and walk through this important step alongside a minister, this class is for you.
Parents and students are invited to join Jon Rhoades on Sunday mornings beginning September 6 at 9:45 a.m. as you explore the meaning of baptism together and prepare for this significant milestone in your child's faith journey. The class will continue for six weeks. To register, please click the graphic above.
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
We will be having a Congregational Meeting on Wednesday, September 9, at 6:00pm in the Worship Center. We will discuss the current state of the church and finances for the upcoming year. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
MISSION TRIP MEETING
Have you ever been curious about going on a mission trip or wondered what it's really like? Join us for an informational meeting on Sunday, September 20, at 2:00 PM in Room 109 to learn more about our upcoming July 15, 2028, mission trip to Honduras.
There is no commitment to attend the meeting or go on the trip. This is simply an opportunity to hear what a mission trip involves, ask questions, and prayerfully consider whether God may be calling you to serve. If you're even a little curious, we'd love for you to join us!
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Please join us for an Evening Women’s Bible Study beginning September 22 and continuing through October 27.
We will be studying “Finding I AM” by Lysa TerKeurst, as she takes us through the streets of Israel to explore the powerful “I AM” statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John.
Discover how Jesus is the key to true satisfaction as you learn the crucial significance behind each of His “I AM” statements.
Robin Stevens will be leading the group.
The class will meet on Tuesdays from 6:30–8:00 p.m. The cost of the book is $15.00.
To sign up, please contact the Church Office at 812-446-2214, Jeri Tucker at 812-240-9938, or sign up at the Welcome Desk.
