Operation Christmas Child

Sunday, October 26th - November 16th, 8:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.|

Sanctuary North Entrance

Please join us in packing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Since 1993, more than 188 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoe box.

The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.

Boxes will be available this Sunday through Sunday 11.16, outside the Sanctuary.

Click on the button below to find out how to pack a shoe box. Please fill your box and return to Carol & Mo Nakatsui by Sunday, November 16th.

If you have any questions, email Carol Nakatsui at occnakatsui@gmail.com

Ministry Highlights

Thanksgiving Offering

This year our Thanksgiving offering will go toward a special Christmas gift for our missionaries. Receiving this offering at Thanksgiving enables us to send the gifts to our missionaries in time for Christmas. These gifts are above and beyond our usual monthly financial support. Please pray and prepare your offering as the Lord leads.

Special envelopes will be in your Church Bulletin November 9 & 16. You may also mail checks to the church with “Thanksgiving Offering” noted on the memo line. For giving online, you can select “Thanksgiving Offering” from the drop-down menu.

Assistive Listening System Available in Sanctuary

We offer an Assistive Listening System in the Sanctuary for those that have mild to moderate hearing loss. These small devices will provide direct audio during the entire worship service and will allow you to adjust the volume to meet your individual needs. You must sit in the main center section of the sanctuary to use the system. The system is not available in the North or South chapels.

If you would like to take advantage of this new system, please stop by the sound booth.

Praise

I’m thankful for successful surgery that removed all the cancer and a good healing process.

I didn’t have to miss work.

I was able to revise a number of previously written papers.

I’m very thankful for all the prayers and support I receive now and have received for 54 years with Wycliffe.

Prayer

Wisdom and compassion as I continue to counsel in person and by phone.

Ears to hear and a heart to obey the Lord’s direction for my life.

And continue to allow Him to transform me so that I can be a godly example (leave a godly legacy). That brings glory to God my Father
