Did you know that only $200 covers the initial cost for one woman in a crisis pregnancy to come to Life Choices for an appointment? This appointment includes pregnancy testing, STI/STD testing and treatment, counseling, and an ultrasound from an experienced nurse. Would you support us as we walk for these women?  The LifeWalk is this Saturday, April 13, 2024 at the Memphis Zoo. Join our church team or donate at bit.ly/odbclifewalk. 

 

Our Annual Men's Chili Cook-off is coming on February 25.  All entries should be in the kitchen by 5:30PM.  The meal will begin at 6:00PM.  Men, bring your best chili for a chance to win the Silver Spike Award.  Ladies, bring accompaniments and desserts.

 

We have a couple of recurring fellowship activities planned for this year.  In odd-numbered months, we will have a ladies crafting activity where ladies can bring a craft project of their own to work on or work on a project for OCC shoeboxes while fellowshipping with other ladies (third grade and up).  In even-numbered months, we will have a Friday Fellowship for any adults who would enjoy dinner together and an activity.  These will range from potluck and table games to dinner out to bowling (or other activity) nights.  Make plans to attend. See the calendar or church bulletins for specific dates and times.

 

Share GOOD NEWS and GREAT JOY this holiday season!

Pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child!  We are collecting shoeboxes filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items now through November 19.  These shoeboxes will go around to world to carry the message of God's love to needy children.  You can pick up a shoebox at the church or use any shoebox you have on hand.

Please avoid edible items, items from nature, all liquids, wearable camo, and any scary or war-related items.
