You will have the exciting opportunity to personally bring the good news of the gospel and great joy to a child this Christmas as we dedicate Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes this weekend.
What an incredible tangible way for us to all help fulfill the Great Commission right from our own homes. Local churches in more than 100 nations will deliver our prayerfully packed boxes—with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—to boys and girls in some of the most difficult and remote places of the world. Children and families will gather to receive these boxes and hear the message of salvation through Jesus Christ and will be given the opportunity to pray and receive Christ as their Saviour.
Darren McCrea, our missionary from Colombia will be with us to share his experience of watching children receive these boxes in his country. He will also join us in praying over these shoeboxes and sharing an amazing update on the work of God in that nation.
Just a friendly reminder, that you must register to attend our Sunday services and please arrive before 10:30 am so we can properly seat you and your family. Remember to bring your OCC shoebox with you into the service. We will be praying over the boxes during service. Then on your way out of service, you can deposit your shoebox at the designated table in the lobby.
We look forward to your presence with us in person or online this weekend for this exciting Missions Sunday service!
Every Blessing,
Pastor Barry Risto
Lead Pastor
