You can also use the OC App or stop by Connection Point in the lobby. Each red poinsettia costs $10. Orders need to be completed by Sunday, December 3.

Would you like to help a family who attends our church and is struggling financially to provide Christmas gifts for their children? We are collecting $20 Walmart gift cards in our Christmas Blessing Box located at Connection Point on Sunday mornings. These will be distributed to the eligible families that completed Christmas Gift Assistance applications. Please drop off gift cards through Sunday, December 17. You can also donate HERE or on the OC App.

Timeless Treasures, our Senior Adult group, will be having a Christmas luncheon at Hickory Bridge Farm on Monday, December 11, at noon. The cost of $30 includes a family-style meal of oven-fried chicken, baked ham, sides, dessert, drink, and tip. Dave & Darlanna Besecker will have a Christmas carol sing-along following the meal. Sign-up HERE, on the OC App, or stop by Connection Point on Sunday morning.

To prepare for Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth, the staff here at church has written a CHRISTmas Devotional. The devotional is set up like the monthly Bible Reading Plans; available on the OC App and at facebook.com/groups/ocdevotionals (click on “join” to have it appear on your newsfeed). You can also download a copy of the Christmas devotional each week at www.otterbeinchurch.org/bible-reading-plans.
