The Chosen

The Chosen is a 2017 television drama based on the life of Jesus Christ, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multi-season series about the life of Christ, and season one was the highest crowd-funded media project of all time.  The series portrays Jesus “through the eyes of those who met him”.

Geared toward women, we will be showing season one in the Fellowship Hall Monday nights at 7:00 pm, starting June 22.   Each episode varies between a half hour to an hour, and ladies are welcome to stay and discuss after the showing.   You are also welcome to bring your own snacks, and, invite a friend!

Everyday :: Serve & Witness

Operation Christmas Child

The COVID-19 global pandemic has disrupted everyday life for millions of people around the world. Yet, Samaritan’s Purse continues to share the eternal hope of the Gospel and to serve in Jesus’ Name.

We want boys and girls around the world to know that God loves them and has not forgotten them during this time of fear and uncertainty. We’re looking forward to a great Operation Christmas Child season, and OCC is prayerfully considering ways to modify their collection and processing in light of COVID-19. They are monitoring local, state, and national guidelines and making adjustments to help protect the health of those involved in collecting and processing shoebox gifts.

Right now is a great time to purchase many of the items that make perfect gifts! School supplies and other child-orientated items are discounted as our children prepare to go back to school. For how and what to pack, along with suggestions and label options, go to samaritanspurse.org. Under the “What We Do” drop-down menu you will find OCC. Our church is a designated drop-off location, and we have shoeboxes year-round that you can pick up and begin filling. OCC National Collection Week is November 16-23.

Another great option to share God’s love is to build a shoebox online. It’s a convenient and personal way to give shoebox gifts directly from home. You make it your own by choosing from a list of gifts, then adding a letter and a photo. They’ll pack it for you and send it off!

Giving

We are a giving church body, and we are so thankful for your faithful giving! We have two offering baskets. One located in the back of the sanctuary, and one between the doors inside of the sanctuary.
