Fun Snack Cart for our OCCS Staff & Teachers!

Help us show appreciation to the OCCS teachers and staff! We have made a few changes on how we will do the “Fun Snack Cart” by spreading it out to have a snack brought in one day a quarter instead of just one week of blessing them. You can choose to sign up to volunteer your time to serve the snacks to the teachers or you can sign up to make them a special treat!

To Serve- you will come in at 1:45 to individually plate the items, place on a cart and walk them around school delivering to teachers and staff. After you are done bringing the treats you will bring the remaining treats back to the teacher’s lounge. Please clean up the area you used.

To bring food- Please have food to school by 1:00. We will need 7 people to make desserts/snacks items to serve 12 teacher and staff. (These items can be desserts, pie, bars, cookies, snack mix cups, etc.)

Thank you for signing up!

October Theme: The Strategy 

October Theme Song: “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus” PH #559

October Theme Verse: Ephesians 6:13-17 “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
