The world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, Operation Christmas Child utilizes gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Are you ready to be a part of the movement?
How to Pack & Deliver Your Shoebox Gifts!
Find a Shoebox
Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately. Or pick-up a box at church.
Girl or Boy?
Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category.
Can’t decide? Feel free to build multiple shoebox gifts! The more the merrier!
Fill with Gifts
Select a quality “wow” toy such as a doll, soccer ball with pump, or stuffed animal.
Pray
Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift. You can also include a personal note and photo.
$9 Tracking Labels
Alternatively, you can use the labels from the printed brochure and send a check or cash in the envelope (provided in the brochure)1
Drop-Off
Take your shoebox gift(s) to Faith Community Church on Sunday, Nov. 17 or 24 (between 9:30am-12:30pm) or during normal weekday operating hours by Nov. 22.

Moms of Faith is a community of moms (with kids of all ages!) who come together to:
*Connect with and support one another
*Grow in our relationships with Christ

We meet on the FIRST TUESDAYS of the month (October 1 – December 3, 2019). Check-in for childcare begins at 9:00am, and our sessions run from 9:15am-11:30am.
We hope you can join us to unplug as a mom and enjoy excellent speakers, crafts & activities, childcare, breakfast items, and best of all, support from other moms.
We’d love for you to invite a friend, neighbor, or any other mom who might appreciate connecting with other moms.
First time moms get their first meeting for free! (use drop-in rate for mom and enter the code FIRSTTIME. If you need childcare and think you’ll keep coming, you can register your child for the full semester for cheaper rate if you desire.).

Your child’s registration fee covers the cost for supplies and childcare.

Our Good Friday Service is an opportunity to come together at Faith Community Church to remember and reflect on the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
His death on the cross–while a somber and dark day in our world’s history–was the necessary precursor to the miracle of Resurrection Sunday (Easter).
Join us at 7:00pm on Friday, April 19 for a family worship service* that blends gospel narrative, contemplative music, and self-reflection.
Remember to finish the story on Easter Sunday during one of our Celebration Services (8:30am | 10:30am).
*Childcare available for children 4 years old & younger.
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.”
–1 Peter 2:24

Jim Warner Wallace is a cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author.His professional investigative work has received national recognition and his cases have been featured more than any other detective on Dateline NBC.

MORE ABOUT J. WARNER WALLACE
J. Warner was awarded the Police and Fire Medal of Valor “Sustained Superiority” Award for his continuing work on cold-case homicides, and the CopsWest Award after solving a 1979 murder.
As a vocal atheist in his mid-thirties, Jim rigorously investigated the lofty claims of the New Testament to determine if the supernatural assertions of the world’s largest religion could hold up under the intense scrutiny that modern detective-work demands. This proved to be a life-changing endeavor.
When not engaging audiences around the country, Jim resides in Southern California with his wife, Susie.
Read what others have to say about him below, then register to experience an evening with J. Warner Wallace for yourself!

-Brian Auten (Podcast Writer & Host)
“Whether you are a Christian or a skeptic, J. Warner will challenge you to consider the evidence through fresh eyes.”
-Sean McDowell (Author, Speaker, Educator)

Join us on Good Friday, April 14 at 6:45pm for this free movie event.
Risen is the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), a powerful Roman military tribune, and his aide, Lucius (Tom Felton), are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.
We will serve communion afterward for those who would like to partake.
Come grab a seat in our auditorium at 6:45pm–the movie will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Risen is rated PG-13 and children under 13 years of age must be accompanied by a parent. Family discussion guides will be available to take home with you free of charge.
There will not be childcare available for this event.

During each Easter Service
Dr. Doug Baker will be giving an encouraging message called,
Rise & Shine.
“‘Rise and shine!’ is a phrase heard throughout life, often when we least want to hear it. Yet, when God says it to us, it takes on a completely new and exciting meaning. It looks forward to life change that is empowered not by our own energy levels or interests but by God’s capacity and desires.
“At Easter Jesus rose from the dead, but the meaning of that moment is not merely rooted in history. It is an event that revolutionizes our lives as well. As we trust in Him, we are enabled to move out of the shadows and darkness of past harmful habits and present puzzlement into the light of clean slates, fresh hopes, and clear consciences and conceptions of life. Join us this Easter as we ‘Rise and Shine’ together.”
-Doug Baker
