Load the Truck!
We will need help to load 500 plus shoeboxes into a truck to be taken to Westview Church. Hope you can join us. Consider signing up at the Welcome Desk.
All are welcome.
UPDATE 5
Please pray that all will go well over the next few weeks, that each box will be filled with God’s love and that each child will experience His love in a powerful, life changing way.
Praising God again this year
He has provided a wide variety of people who sewed, knitted, crafted, packed tic-tac-toe games, filled marble bags, strung drawstring bags, made up arts and craft kits, copied and sorted coloring sheets, made jewellery, folded boxes, cut out labels, taped on labels, wrote cards for each box, purchased supplies, packed pencil cases, matched up skirts with t-shirts, chose toys, set up stations, donated their time, gifts and finances making it possible for us to fill 500 shoeboxes with gifts for children who may have never received a gift before.
- Please pray that every shoebox will be safely delivered to the particular child God has prepared.
- Pray that these children will experience God’s presence in a mighty way and will know how much He loves them.
- Pray that these children will come to know Jesus as their Savior and be blessed with the gift of faith.
Ephesians 2:8-10 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (NIV)
We are asked to send $12 to cover expenses for transportation and for the Greatest Journey Program each child is offered. These donations can be made by same method you tithe but please indicate it is for OCC.
Please return any shoeboxes you took home to fill by November 16, 2025.
