OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – Every year we are blessed to be able to join with Samaritan’s Purse and fill “Shoe Boxes” with toys, school supplies, and personal care items for children in need around the world. These special boxes are joyfull7 received by boys and girls from 2-14 years of aged. For some children this is the first gift they have ever received and others the only gift they will get. Whether sending or receiving, those touched by Operation Christmas Child testify to the power of a gift-filled shoebox given in Jesus’ name. Boxes are on the table in the narthex of the church. There is also a brochure that explains exactly how to fill them. All boxed must be returned to LCOOS by the end of worship on Sunday November 24th. No boxes can be accepted after that. If you have any questions, please speak with Heather Nault.
LCOOS FAMILY MEAL MINISTRY- We are looking for volunteers to help with meals for people in need. This may be due to an illness, surgery, new baby, mourning, anyone who would need a meal for any reason. If you are unable to prepare a meal you may have one delivered. If you are interested in being a blessing and joining this ministry, there is a sign-up sheet on the table in the narthex. Thank you.
