Celebrations!

God works in ways that we often can't imagine.  Events such as Operation Christmas Child's Rummage "No Sale" and Turkey Bunco provide people an opportunity to participate in different ways - from providing items, organizing, playing games, baking, and more.  The result is many people participating in God's work.  Simply reading the updates would make one think we are talking about a hundred or so people being impacted... The reality is that there were a couple hundred this weekend as people donated items and merchandise, came to rummage", and more.  That number will grow into thousands as people receive meals, shoe boxes, items donated to Bethesda Resale after the OCC event, and much more.  God is at work physically meeting needs, emotionally providing comfort and companionship through relationships, and spiritually in providing purpose and teamwork in something bigger than ourselves.

Go into all the world and make disciples... Continue to pray for the ongoing impact of these and other ministries as they progress to their end.  Go team!  Go God!

Operation Christmas Child celebrates God's work through the Rummage "No Sale"

Thanks for all who provided items, munchies, and hands for the OCC Rummage "No Sale."  In spite of bad weather encouraging the sale to be moved indoor,  donations of about $500 were raised to fund the  shipping of shoeboxes this Christmas to kids around the world.

Watch for other opportunities to support OCC through upcoming events and ongoing item collections.

Celebrating Turkey Bunco and Silent Auction 

Over 90 people participated and $3000 was raised toward the goal of feeding 1000 families Thanksgiving dinner this fall.  Thanks to all who helped make this event a success.

Watch for other opportunities to support 500 Turkeys as we move into the fall.
