Once again our youth will have the opportunity to serve in the OCC packing center in Minnesota to finish their Operation Christmas Child project. We will be serving Friday December 7th from 1 - 5pm.

I have 15 spots reserved, and we will need adults to attend, so if you are interested, please contact Tara Johnson. The youth must be at least 13 years of age, and we are required to have 1 adult for every 4 students.
Permission slips are required, and will be available once details are set.

A big thank you to all who helped to make our fall distribution a success. Perhaps you donated food or money; perhaps you helped us to pack food; perhaps you helped us to distribute the food; or perhaps you prayed for us. In any case THANK YOU. It takes many people to make this outreach a success.

We served 42 families – 96 Adults, 33 children, and 15 teens (144 people). Some said they were okay now, but would need at Christmas.

We will be packing on Friday, December 7th, distributing on December 8th, and would love your help! Please mark your calendars!

Based on the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols that originated at King's College in Cambridge, UK, in 1918, this special service's main theme according to King's Dean Milner-White is "..the development of the loving purposes of God ...’ seen ‘through the windows and words of the Bible".

We hope you will join us! Coffee, cookies, and various refreshments will follow in the church basement.
