Opportunities
Operation Christmas Child - November 17
Operation Christmas Child invites you to give a shoebox full of practical and playful gifts to children worldwide. Offered along with every box is The Greatest Gift, which explains the Gospel Story of Jesus' love for them in the child's language. Children then have the opportunity to participate in a 12-week study called The Greatest Journey. Please drop off your filled shoe boxes in the foyer before 12:30 pm on Sunday, November 17.
Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving
Our church family has much to be thankful for. Your family is invited to our Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving on Sunday, November 24, at 6:00 p.m. in the Worship Center. We will worship the Lord together, celebrate communion, and commemorate those who follow Jesus' command to be baptized.
Advent Outreach Opportunities
Advent is a time to reflect and give thanks to God for His willingness to become human for our sake. In many ways, the world around us moves in the opposite direction - rushing through holiday shopping lists that narrow our focus. This year we'd like to prepare and combat this busyness and materialism by encouraging simplicity and generosity. We'll be celebrating Advent for four Sundays from December 8-29.
On December 8th we have planned to replicate God's generosity by serving others. We have set up four different ways to encourage an outward focus during this holiday season. You can serve in practical ways at FISH - Vancouver's food pantry, purchase Christmas gifts for families in crisis, help cook and serve a meal at a shelter for families, or be a part of a carol sing that shares the gospel at an assisted living facility here in Vancouver.
