OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE
Operation Christmas Child
October 23 – November 6
Table in the Lobby
Operation Christmas Child provides less fortunate children worldwide a shoe box full of gifts to brighten the Christmas holiday and potentially teach them about our Savior Jesus Christ. You can join this effort by stopping by the table in the lobby to pick up boxes, gift tags and info about filling the shoe boxes. You may also just use your own shoe box or a plastic one available at dollar stores. This year you may want to opt for building a digital shoe box as well! Go HERE to build one online!
Boxes will be available in the lobby beginning October 23. Deadline to return filled shoe boxes is November 13. Please include $10 for shipping costs.
Angel Tree
Distribution of Angels Begins November 27
Return Gifts by December 18
Lobby
Join us as we continue a Mainstreet tradition, the Angel Tree. Beginning November 27th, you can sign up to help a less fortunate child have a special gift for Christmas. Get an ‘angel’ from the tree in the lobby. Further instructions will follow with Angel information (child name, sizes, interests). Gifts must be returned to the church by December 18th.
Unexpected Serving
Join us as a church and choose one of the options below to bless and serve someone unexpectedly before Christmas or create your own ‘serving’ opportunity and ask God where and what you should do to serve someone else and then go do it. Click the link below for some ideas to get you started.
