When a tree is transplanted there is great hope that it will flourish and thrive in its new location. Yet there are some reasons why a newly planted tree may not flourish and thrive. This Sunday we will continue the sermon series, "Rooted in Christ: Growing Deeper, Living Stronger." We will consider the kind of conditions that need to be a part of our life in order to grow and become all that God created us to be. We will be in Colossians 2:6-15. We hope you will join us in person or online. |

Operation Christmas Child - Countdown to Collection |
As we count down to Parkade’s OCC Packing Party on November 14th, we are still collecting toys. This week, there will be a prayer bookmark inside your worship bulletin to guide you in praying for OCC.
If you are packing a shoebox gift, please remember that your shoebox may be the only gift a child receives. So plan to pack quality items that will last.
Free boxes are located in the Welcome Center next to the Operation Christmas Child table on display. There are brochures with helpful information for the shoebox, but the brochure also contains a QR code you can scan with the camera on your phone that will bring you to a website to purchase a label online.

Thank you to all who continue to help us stock the Blessing Box three times a week. It is definitely being visited by those in our community to help meet some of their physical needs. Each item in the Blessing Box now has a scripture attached. God commands us not only to help meet the physical needs of others but also the spiritual needs of others. It is hoped that these verses will be an encouragement and blessing to those who read them.
Please remember nonperishable items (no dairy or bread, fresh fruit or vegetables); pull top cans are helpful. If putting items directly into the box , please mark out the barcode. You can also support this ministry by giving a monetary donation. If giving money, please mark your gift “Blessing Box”.
