Call to Worship
When Moses gathered the people of Israel, God said,
“I am the Lord your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of slavery.”
As we gather here today,
let us worship the Lord,
who continues to be our God
and who still brings us out of the places of our bondage.
—based on Exodus 20:1-2

O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that Thou art
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light

Be Thou my Wisdom
And Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee
And Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father
I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with Thee one

Riches I heed not
Nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always
Thou and Thou only
First in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure Thou art

High King of heaven
My victory won
May I reach heaven's joys
Bright heaven's Sun
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my Vision
O Ruler of all

November Benevolence - Operation Christmas Child / Food Pantry
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
One Sunday morning in 2000, Pastor Durn asked for a volunteer to attend a meeting concerning a new mission. So was the start of Central’s involvement with Operation Christmas Child.
Now, we enter our 22nd year as a Drop-Off Center for OCC. But this year will be quite different from the others. No more inviting participants into the church building for refreshments but, instead, meeting people in their vehicles clad in masks, gloves, and shields.
The outward appearance will be different, but the message is the same: someone cares and God loves us. You are packing a shoebox gift for a child who has no hidden agenda, no political inclinations, just a need to know Jesus.
There are several ways for you to help in our part of the ministry:
Build your own shoe box(es)
(a) If you would like a reminder of what to pack, check out What to pack
(b) If you would rather not go out to stores, did you know you can build a shoebox online for $25? Besides essential items, like hygiene and school supplies, you get to choose toys, games, and other items to go into your shoebox. And the $9 shipping fee is included in that price. Here is the link.Adopt the shipping price for one or more of the church’s shoeboxes. Thank you to all who have brought supplies to the church throughout the year for the OCC shoeboxes. It’s planned for the church to fill 30 boxes, 10 for each age level. You can help further by donating the shipping price of $9 per box.
Volunteer to receive shoeboxes at the church. If you can help, it would be appreciated. This is the schedule of times the church will receive shoeboxes:
Mon, Nov. 15: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Tue, Nov. 16: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Wed, Nov. 17: 11:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Thu, Nov. 18: 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Fri, Nov. 19: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Sat, Nov. 20: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Sun, Nov. 21: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Mon, Nov. 22: 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Pray for, among other concerns, the collection of the shoeboxes and the safety of the volunteers involved.
