Hi all,
It's been another busy month at C.O.M.
The school-agers have been busy learning to be stewards. They have made placemats for Kairos Prison Ministry, drawing pictures and writing messages showing God's love to the inmates. They also folded boxes and built the OCC Christmas tree in the narthex. The younger children have been having fun with art, adjusting to their new rooms and growing everyday. A big Thank You to those of you who purchased Entertainment Books. Be watching for a fun graphic in our hallway soon to show just how much our "Mulch Fund" is growing. Mark your calendars for Pizza Night, Nov. 6th. We will be receiving a potion of each pizza ordered from Marco's if you mention C.O.M. that night. More information will be coming in your bulletin. Please feel free to come by and take a tour of our program, send someone you know who has a heart for working with children our way to interview, and as always, please suggest us for care if you know of someone looking. Thanks so much for all your support.
Until next time,
Cathy Daley
Director, Forrest Burdette C.O.M.

It's Shoebox Time!
Operation Christmas Child: In just 30 days it will be national collection week. Please cover OCC in prayer during this critical time. Pray that God will use OCC as a great encouragement tool in all the local churches sending shoeboxes. Pray that many families will be drawn together in the presence of Christ in their homes as they pack their shoeboxes and pray over them and they sense Jesus is there.
Take a box from our shoebox Christmas tree if your family can pack for Operation Christmas Child. Each box is a not only a wonderful box of treasured items but more importantly it's a Gospel opportunity for a child.
Here's how it works:
1) Select items for either a girl or boy ages 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14.
2) Pack a shoebox with a few school supplies, basic hygiene items (no liquids), and toys for the age you chose.
3) There are two options from here:
a. Cut out the boy or girl label and tape to top of box. Include $9 for shipping (cash or check to Samaritan's Purse).
b. Go online to samaritanspurse.org/and print the label with a tracker number. Tape to top of box. Pay $9 online for shipping, and when it gets to its designated country you'll receive an email saying where your box was delivered.
4) Return box to church sanctuary by November 11. It will be taken to a drop off center, then sent to Charlotte NC and onto one of 175 countries where a child will receive your gift.

OCC Packing Party
Everyone may not be able to pack their own shoebox, but EVERYONE can experience the blessing of being part of a team effort to get boxes with the Gospel in the hands of a child. If you can provide an item for boxes, please take a green slip from the display table in the foyer and bring the item back before the Oct. 27 Party.
