Operation Christmas Child
In order to provide families with the opportunity to participate in OCC at different times of the year and to increase our impact in the world, this year, we will collect specific items at specific times during the year. The items collected will be stored until October when our M Kids program will host a large packing party to place the collected items into individual boxes for delivery to a child somewhere in the world.
The April collection item is a new small toy that will fit in a shoebox.
Examples include
a jump rope,
a toy car, a small doll,
a small stuff animal or playing cards.
Items will be collected on April 23rd and 30th.
Please place the toy in one of the collection barrels located at the M Kids check-in stations.
Circles USA Meeting
Mt. Horeb has joined forces with Circles USA in the hopes to eliminate poverty in our community and even our state. We know this will not be an easy task but we want to do our part in helping those in need. If you would like to know more about how you could be a part of this, please join us for an informational meeting on May 7th from 10:20-10:45 in the Conference Room located in the Auditorium.
Next Step
From June 4 until August 5, Mt. Horeb will host teams of students from all across the country who will come here, stay in our church building, and go out each day to serve in under-resourced communities in Lexington. The Next Step summer staff that will lead them will arrive on May 28th to begin preparing for what we pray will be an impactful summer for all who are involved.
There are several opportunities for us to serve with them:
- Adopt a Next Step Staffer for the summer
- Provide breakfast for the Next Step Staff on Sunday mornings
- Help with construction projects on the worksites
- Attend Friday evening block parties in the Belle Meade Community
