In the past 2 months
, Shandon sent 16 church members to three different cities to share the light of Jesus. In September, Mat Saxon led a team of five to a suburb of Los Angeles and David Smith led a team of five to Boston--both teams were assisting church plants we have partnered with for three years. Returning just last week, Jerry Long led a team of six to Cuba--a first for Shandon as travel to Cuba has only just recently become an option for the U.S.! On our blog, learn how these teams came alongside believers in very gospel-poor areas of the world to spread the light of Jesus in very spiritually dark cities.

A few weeks ago we told you about Santana Simmons, a middle school student on a mission to pack 50 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.
This past Sunday, Santana celebrated her 13th birthday by having a packing party! She and some friends packed 50 shoeboxes with donations Santana collected from friends and neighbors. Pictured above left, Santana (left) with a young lady from the Middle East (right) who was the recipient of an Operation Christmas Child shoebox when she was a refugee. Her story inspired Santana to pack as many shoeboxes as possible. Way to shine and share the light of Jesus, Santana!
Help us reach our goal of 2,500 boxes!
If you still have a shoebox to pack and/or turn in, p
lease return filled shoeboxes to the church office no later than November 13.

Many people have made their 2-year EVEN GREATER giving commitments...thank you! We've heard stories of how some of you are making specific sacrifices to increase your giving over the next two years. Thank you for your faith in Christ as demonstrated by your choice to trust Him in this area of your finances.
Our goal is 100% participation. Every response counts, and every person in our church makes a difference! If you have not yet made your
EVEN GREATER
commitment, you can submit it online or
turn in a commitment card during the offering in one of our worship services this Sunday or next. We encourage you turn in your commitment in the next 2 weeks.
