There are are four ways to give:
  1.  Purchase Gift Cards

  4.  Give Online directly to The OPEN DOOR.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD :: Thanksgiving to mid-November

 
Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on project that brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes packed by Canadians. It is one way to remind children suffering as a result of war, poverty, famine, disease, and disaster that they are loved and not forgotten.
 
Boys and girls receive shoe box gifts and this connection provides other opportunities for follow-up discipleship programs, where they learn to follow Christ and share Him with others.
 
Consider putting together a box for a little girl or boy this Christmas!
 
 
OPTION #1: BUILD YOUR OWN SHOE BOX
Please deliver your packed shoe boxes on one of the following three Drop-off Days:
  • Thu Nov 19th   :: 10am-4pm & 6pm-8pm
  • Fri Nov 20th    :: 10am-4pm & 6pm-8pm
  • Sat Nov 21st    :: 10am-2pm
OPTION #2: “PACK A BOX” ONLINE​

A second option is to make an online donation so that Samaritan’s Purse can create a Shoe box for a particular boy or girl.  Please watch this short video for more information.

DRIVE-THRU FOOD DRIVE :: October 4th from 3-5pm @ City Centre

 
We love helping our own community. Our annual Fall Food Drive is in support of THE OPEN DOOR.
 
THE OPEN DOOR indicated that they DO NOT need bags of pasta. They are currently at the limit of what they can handle.
 
This is a Drive-Thru Food Drive, just like we had in the spring. We are asking drivers to drive around the building like in the Spring but, the drop off point will be on the lower level.  We will open up the gym doors on the lower level to off-load the food items.
 
We will deliver to THE OPEN DOOR on Tue Oct 6th.  If you are able to help load up the truck(s), please email Pastor Drew.
Thank you for all your support!
