Outreach
Operation Christmas Child
Spreading the Gospel one shoebox at a time, all year long.
Outreach Ministry
Being guided by the Holy Spirit
We use each new and unique meeting to roll out the wonder and to do the good work that God the Father has prepared for us in advance, as we endeavor to spread the Gospel one shoebox at a time.
(ref. Matthew 28:18-20)
Meetings are held on Wednesdays, 10:00-11:00 AM. Everyone is welcome to participate. Some who cannot meet at this time work on their own schedule at home.

What We Do
Many of our meetings are spent making crafts that will be used in the shoeboxes. As we work, we enjoy amazing fellowship, praying together and for each other and sharing life experiences. Our members range in age from young adults to seniors.
We're always on the lookout for bargains and deals online and in local stores and the congregation is given a list of items to donate each month.
Support the Shipping
Every Shoebox Has a $10.00 Shipping Cost
We want to ensure that each of our packed shoeboxes has a shipping cost of $10.00 to ensure that it gets to a child somewhere in the world. Our fundraising auction ends on September 13th, so ask an OCC team member to share about the auction, or you can give on any Sunday.

Packing Shoeboxes
After collecting toys and clothing for children ages 2-14, we pack and pray for each unknown recipient of a shoebox. In the fall we host a packing party for church members to join the fun of spreading the Gospel one shoebox at a time.
