CAN DO Sunday September 19th

Who you are isn't measured by what's in your wallet, But by what's in your soul.

Please keep the poor, the hungry, and the homeless in your thoughts and prayers this month. Pantry supplies are low. Here are a few suggestions and anything will be appreciated: bleach, box mixes, cooking oil, crackers, diapers & wipes, flour, rice, soups, canned tomatoes. As always, anything will be much appreciated.



Operation Christmas Child

The Operation Christmas Child (OCC) shoe box ministry season has arrived! The Oak Creek Confirmation Class will play a major role in promoting and helping with this year's collection. The youth will launch the program at the Sept. 12 service. They will have a table set up in the Fellowship Hall following church where shoe boxes will be available as well as brochures and sample gift-filled boxes. There will also be some free giveaways to help you start your boxes. Please consider supporting our youth mission effort this year. Last year over 50 boxes were collected and this year they hope to beat that goal. With school supplies very inexpensive, now is a good time to start when you are shopping at Target, Walmart, Meijer, the Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Christmas Tree Shoppe.

Boxes will be due by October 31 with dedication by the youth on November 7th.



Event Planning
By Eric Nash

Are you organizing an event for church? If so, then we now have helpful information for you! Please visit the OCUCC Event Tips & Documents and right click and save the Word and Excel files there. Most important to getting your event under way and communicated to others who really need to know about it is the first document "Event Planning". Please fill out that one and get it to Martha. If you don't have internet/email access, then please contact Martha to receive these documents. Thanks! Let's have some great and well-organized events!



Please save your newspapers, magazines, catalogs, office & school paper and mail to put in the recyclable paper bin that is in the church parking lot.
