November 16 Announcements
1. If you would like to give toward our ministry, you can visit https://ocbc.life/giving. Connect with us today by clicking here!
2. THANKSGIVING / CHRISTMAS BASKETS- We are continuing to collect food donations for the Thanksgiving Baskets. If you’ve signed up to bring something, we ask that you drop it off at the church by Wednesday night of this week.
And then as we mentioned, we will also do the same for Christmas Baskets!
3. CHRISTMAS YOUTH CHOIR - As the Christmas season approaches, we are preparing for a Christmas program that will involve a Christmas Youth Choir, and so this choir is open to all kids Kindergarten through 12th grade. Practice is going to be on Sundays at 10:00a, and so there is a limited number of practices in these coming weeks. And so if you’d like your kids to participate, try and make it each Sunday for practice!
4. We also have a couple Volunteer Opportunities here. One that is on a monthly basis and one that is short term...
• CLEANERS - We are in need of some more volunteers who would be willing to help clean the church once a month. Please see us at the Welcome Center after the service, and we will connect you with Phil and Retha who oversee that area.
• CHRISTMAS DECORATING - We have set 2 dates coming up that we could use some help decorating the church for Christmas. The first date, which is the heavier decorating day is Monday, November 24. A lot of items will need brought over from the 3-bay garage, there are many Christmas trees that will need assembled and fluffed. And depending on what gets done on that day will determine how much needs to be done the following Monday, December 1. They will begin decorating at 9:30a on those days, and would greatly appreciate help!
5. Small group in meeting tonight in Graham and in Orting @ 6pm. Part of our mission as a church is to encourage and edify one another. Small group helps us fulfill this mission as we love one another and keep one another accountable, all while we strive to apply God’s Word to our lives. Please click here to fill out a small form if you plan to attend!
6. Congratulations to Pastor Skyler and Christian Nemier!! Their baby girl arrived early Saturday morning. We are so excited for them. If you would like to help support them, sign up for the meal train here.
