Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Collection kicks off November 8. Shoeboxes will be available at both services on November 8 & 15 with all shoebox returns due by noon on November 23.

If you can’t fill a shoebox, we have needs for Wow items and school supplies for our Packing Party Boxes. OCC Shoebox Ministry will be hosting Craft & Assembly Day on Wednesday, November 18 from 3-5pm in the Ark Room. Our annual Shoebox Packing Party will be Thursday, November 19 at 10:30am in the Ark Room. We invite adults and children to attend these events.

Each November, we give out frozen turkeys to each guest who comes through our Lighthouse Food Pantry & Clothing Closet. As we prepare for the giveaway on November 21, we need your help! Please drop off 10-12lb frozen turkeys to the Lighthouse (in the Annex) the morning of November 21 (before 9:30). Let us know below how many turkeys you plan to bring! Reach out to the office if you need to drop them off earlier in the week. Thank you for helping to enhance the Thanksgiving experience for each of our guests this year!
