HAVEN OF REST
Those who want to feed the needy this Christmas season, don’t forget the Haven of Rest this Saturday at 10AM!
Lot’s Happening Saturday!
Two opportunities to serve this Saturday: 1.) Those helping with the Haven of Rest should meet there at 10:00 AM. 2.) Those helping with Habit for Humanity, should meet at the build site (4092 Summit Street in Ravenna) at 9AM.
To Save a Child
What would you do to save a child? Were you to notice a lost child, would you stop to help? What about a child in a dangerous situation? Would you intervene? Well, believe it or not, you can do that very thing by participating in Operation Christmas Child. Every shoebox packed and shipped and placed in the hands of a child is an opportunity to reach that child for Jesus. When you pray for OCC, give, pack boxes, or help…
VBS DAY 1
A record breaking day for the start of VBS 2023! Thanks to all who are working hard at this. Keep praying that little hearts and minds are touched by a big God and Savior!
Ladies Spring Banquet
Calling all ladies – the last day to purchase tickets is this coming Lord’s Day – May 7th. See Deeanna at the table in the foyer, so you don’t miss out on this great program this year!
Weekend Happenings!
There is some great stuff happening this weekend: Saturday at 8:00 AM. Great food, good fellowship, and a time of Bible and prayer. What’s not to love about prayer breakfasts? Final one of the year – Saturday at 6:30 PM. Corn hole tournament, and the usual array of games and fun. Bring your corn hole boards if you have them, and something to share food-wise, and your favorite board or card games. Let’s make this last one…
A Quiet Week
On this week between the holidays, we’ll be taking a break from a couple of things. Men’s Bible Study for this Tuesday is cancelled, as is the Wednesday Prayer Meeting. Enjoy the week of recovery from Christmas and anticipation of the New Year!
TIME TO PACK!
This year’s Operation Christmas Child packing party is TOMORROW, Saturday, November 12th, starting at 10AM. Our goal this year is to pack at least 750 boxes, and we’re actually hoping to top 1000. Join us at 10. This is a wonderful ministry for all ages, from the smallest child to the oldest senior. All can be involved and get in on the rewards of sending a box of gifts, the most important of which is the gift of salvation, to…
Haven
Just a quick reminder that we serve at the Haven of Rest in Akron on the first Saturday of every month, feeding the homeless and needy. So that’s this Saturday, November 5. We meet at the Haven at 10AM. If you’ve never helped with rewarding ministry, give it a try. If you have questions, you can reach out to Paul Richards or Larry and Karen Cannon.
THE BEST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH IS HERE!
Well, at least the best for the guys who attend Men’s Prayer Breakfasts! That’s right… it’s tomorrow, October 22nd, at 8:00AM in the new building. Food, Fun, Fellowship, and Feasting on God’s Word. Believe me, if you’ve not attended one before, you don’t want to miss it. And if you have attended it before, I know you’re adding an AMEN to what I just said. Come early and get a seat!
