“New Things” are continuing to happen!
A new “card” can be found on our website. It is a link to our Sunday Adult Bible Study lessons. The best way to view it is on a computer or a tablet. You can look at it on your phone, but it is really tiny. Join us this month as we look at 1&2 Thessalonians.
The Fellowship Ministry met in January to plan some fun opportunities for you and your friends. Be sure and pick up a card with the dates and activities. There are some new activities planned for this spring. Mark your calendars and think of who you want to invite.
John and I dropped off your donations to Pregnancy Care. They were very appreciative of the special gifts and our monthly support. Pregnancy Care has changed their physical baby bottle fundraiser. The new fundraiser is a “virtual” baby bottle fundraiser. You can get information for giving at lakehavasupregnancycare.com
Our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes have been part of two shipments to the Philippines. 12,205,900 boxes were packed this past year. Northwest Arizona collected 9,523+ boxes. I recently read that 1,000 boxes went into the Amazon jungle to kids who heard about Jesus for the first time. It is time to start gathering new items for new boxes. Amanda’s goal for this next year is 200 boxes. You can pick up shoeboxes anytime if you want to pack a box here and there throughout the year. I have some in my office. I saw a box on one of the many OCC Facebook pages where the family had packed a heart themed box. It was so cute.
Keep looking for new opportunities to learn and serve. Old can be comfortable but new can be exciting! Add a little excitement to your life.
