Annual Service Projects
Operation Christmas Child
Now - October 29
We are almost 4 weeks from the October 29th Operation Christmas Child Shoebox collection deadline. It is time to pack those shoeboxes as tight as you can to bring smiles and share the good news of Jesus Christ with children and their families. We would like to go beyond our 110-box goal for 2023. Keep watch of the goal tree, each tag represents a returned box. Please return filled boxes to the table in the foyer. You can contact Ida Johnson with any questions.
Trunk-Or-Treat
October 31
Our annual community-wide Trunk-or-Treat will be held from 5:30-6:30pm on October 31. Last year we had such a humongous turnout that we had to make two trips to the store during the event to buy more candy so that we would not run out. There are two ways to help with this event:
Be Rich in Action
Mid-November
The annual Be Rich in Action campaign is an opportunity for our church family to bless our local schools and a food bank in our community. This year's Be Rich in Action day will be held on Sunday, November 19. On that day we will collect the following:
- New coats for children (sizes S to XL)
- New pairs of socks
- Non-perishable food items
- Special love offering for community agencies
Easter Egg Hunt
10am on Saturday of Easter weekend
On a Saturday before Easter, we invite the children in the community to participate in an Easter Egg Hunt on our grounds. In the weeks prior, our church collects donated plastic eggs and individually-wrapped candies. That day, we have our three hunts organized by age-level followed by giving away special prizes.
