Scheduled for three Sundays in September, the Church Matters Class is encouraged for all church attendees wanting to grow in discipleship, or anyone wishing to serve in a leadership role.

Signup Today in the Welcome Center

There are sign-up sheets in the Welcome Center to sign up for a Community Group. We have four groups to choose from. A map is available of where each group will be hosted, who the leaders are, the host home, and the night of the week each group will meet.

When the groups begin this fall, the focus will be on connecting with our neighbors and how to better reach them for Christ. The main purpose of our community connection groups is to be a community and do life together. We encourage you to sign up and take part in one of the groups this fall. If you have questions contact, Pastor Christopher for more information.

Blessing Box Donation Drop-off

There will be a new drop-off spot for any food donations brought to the church. A table is set up by the east wall fireplace in the Welcome Center to collect Blessing Box donations whenever they are dropped off. Please do not bring them to the classroom they were originally brought to. Leaders are requesting to utilize the room for a Zoom Bible Study group in room S166.

Blessing Box Food Ministry

The Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Ministry leaders have collected donated items for the shoeboxes for almost a year! They appreciate your generosity! For September, some of the items they are asking for are “catch-up” items to reach their goal!

They would also like to send “tools” that would fit in a shoebox for 10-14 boys. (Many of these can be purchased at discount stores.) In many countries, when boys reach 15 years old, they are expected to join working adults and provide income for the family.

We appreciate your generosity and look forward to the OCC Packing Party on November 13th!

Contact Roberta Collins or Cathy Sanders for more information.

Milk Jug Collection Request

Thank you for your donation of milk jugs. Before the next Sunday collection day, please check to see if your milk jugs are dry inside and free of mold. The jugs have to be sanitized right after use and dried otherwise, they can't be donated after being collected. The next collection day will be the last Sunday in October.

The Women on Mission (WOM) handed out Bibles to the Parkade Elementary Children who returned to school on August 23. If there is a child at Parked church who does not have a Bible, please contact Roberta Collins.

There will be an Operation Christmas Child Workshop by open invitation on Saturday, September 10, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at Memorial Baptist Church in Jefferson City. For more information, click here to access a flyer, or contact Roberta Collins.

Join us for an evening of fellowship and the movie "God's Not Dead" on Saturday, September 10. Games and food start around 6:00 pm. Hot dogs and drinks (tea, lemonade, and water) will be provided. Please bring chips, a side dish, or dessert to share. (It's definitely okay to just bring yourself!)

The movie will start at dusk (approximately 7:30 pm). Bring a folding chair or blanket. If it rains everything will be moved into the Fellowship Hall. RSVP on Sign-Up Genius, so we know how much to buy and prepare.

In "God's Not Dead" a devout Christian student must prove the existence of God or else his college philosophy professor will fail him. The movie will be subtitled. Click here to RSVP. Click here for a link to describe the movie. Click here for a link to the movie's music video.
