Thank you so much for the way that you blessed the Gideons on Sunday! You gave an offering of $625 to reach the world with God's Word. That equals 125 Bibles, and also represents 125 of our personal loved ones who are in need of salvation. Continue to pray for the Gideons and our lost friends and family.

On Sunday, November 30, we are celebrating those for whom we are thankful. Our Thanks Day will be enjoyed along with Fifth Sunday Breakfast. Invite friends and family to have breakfast and Bible study in the fellowship hall.

The churchwide focus for the month of November is Gratitude. We are changing our mindset from our typical reactions to being like Jesus in the way we show gratitude when we are alone and to those around us.

As we do each month, we have a daily devotional on the CCOG page of the YouVersion Bible app. This one is all about the practice of gratitude. Scan the QR code, or follow this link: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/52354-thanksgiving-overflow-ten-days-of-bounty

We are in the final month for shoebox contributions. Bring lots of socks for the next few weeks as we finish this successful OCC year! Also, make plans to help with boxing up all the goodies on Wednesday, November 19 at 7pm.
