OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOXES

This year, our goal for the OCC Shoeboxes is 150! These boxes go all over the world for children in poverty stricken areas. Boxes are available at all bulletin stations if you haven’t already picked yours up. Our collection date is Sunday, November 12. Please note: CANDY or TOOTHPASTE can no longer be included in the boxes. This is a great project for your family, Sunday school classes, mission groups or friends at work. Thank you!

DEACON ELECTION

We are rapidly approaching one of the most important events of our church year. Our Deacon election will take place on Sunday, August 13, at      11:00 am. You will be given an official ballot as you come into worship service that morning. You can write up to three names that you wish to serve on the Deaconship for the next three years. These ballots will then be counted and those elected will be announced as soon as they agree to serve. Please begin to pray about God’s leadership in this very important action. I want to remind you of some necessary qualifications for nomination to the Deaconship. He must be a church member in good standing. This means that he must be faithful in attendance to the services. He must be supportive in his giving to the support of the church. He is to have biblical standards in his family life. He is to be one who promotes his church in both his words and positive attitude. He is to have a good reputation, both in and out of the church. Above all, he is to love the Lord and the Lord’s work. Finally, please do not vote for a staff member. It would not be appropriate for a staff member to serve as a Deacon.

We currently have nine men who are serving and are not eligible for re-election as Deacon. They are as follows: Richard Chapman, Ron Fine, Paul Pace, Ronnie Dorn, Ray Varner, Tim Plummer, Bryce Rudasill, Jason Mosley, J. R. Ford. Thank you for your prayerful consideration!
