Blessings Play Group – Come join us for a warm, welcoming space where parents and little ones (up to age 5) can make friends and build real connections. We’ll have learning resources, snacks, and fun activities ready to go! All you need to bring is yourselves. The group meets twice a month, from 10 to 11:30am.

This Sunday is Shoebox Sunday! We will take time during worship to pray over the shoebox gifts collected by our congregation, asking God to bless each child who receives one and to use these simple gifts to share His love in a powerful way.

Through Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, gift-filled shoeboxes are delivered to children in need around the world. Each box is filled with toys, school supplies, and personal care items, offering a tangible reminder that they are loved and not forgotten. More importantly, each gift creates an opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Christ Church is also serving as an Operation Christmas Child collection site through Sunday, November 22. Individuals, families, churches, and community members are welcome to drop off their packed shoeboxes at Christ Church during our collection period.

A simple shoebox can make a lasting difference in the life of a child. Thank you to everyone who has packed a box, given toward this ministry, or helped make this outreach possible. May each gift carry a little joy, a lot of love, and the hope of Jesus to a child somewhere in the world!

The next Men’s Breakfast will be Saturday, November 14, from 8:00–9:30 a.m. at Christ Church. Our speaker will be Scott Johnson, who spoke at two of our breakfasts in 2025.

Scott recently retired as Advisor to the President & CEO of Zeeco, Inc. He also serves as a missionary in Africa and frequently teaches at churches throughout the Tulsa metro area.

Scott’s message, “Seeing Others as God Sees Them,” will explore how God sees each person’s past, present, and future more clearly than we ever could ourselves. How can we learn to see others through God’s eyes? As we grow in understanding and compassion, we can better reflect God’s love to those around us.

Enjoy a morning of good food, music, and fellowship as we grow together in our faith. For questions, contact Mark Knutson at 918-428-6083.
