It's shoebox season and we have many opportunities for you to join in to provide "the Greatest Gift" for children everywhere around the world right from Mt. Olivet:
Packing party at church on November 9th. Bring the whole family and help us fill hundreds of shoeboxes! (All items are provided) Light breakfast at 8:30 and packing at 9am!
Pack and bring your own filled shoeboxes to church by November 17th.
Take part in our Shoebox Dedication on November 17th at the conclusion of the worship service.

We recently held an OCC fundraiser on Wednesday, October 16th. We sold spaghetti dinner plates during our weekly Wednesday Family Night gatherings and raised $1,000 which will help pay for shipping fees to get these boxes into the hands of children across the world.
Our churchwide goal is 200 boxes and right now, our count is 140 boxes! We have a few short weeks to meet this goal and I know we can do it!
