Christmas Event

In our last few weeks, we have been helping OSCEC plan their annual Christmas event. This event will take place on December 11th at 6:30pm. In the two weeks prior to the event, OSCEC, along with students from another church, will be going into the dorms for the first time this year. They plan on caroling to the students on various floors, handing out a survey, talking to the students, and giving them a small gift. Hopefully we will get to go with them on the first night - this coming Wednesday.

The event itself will consist of games: cardboard tree decorating contest, white elephant gift exchange, carol singing contest, various scenes woven throughout the evening about how we often hide the meaning of Christmas with all the hussle and bussle of the season, and finally a message about "unpacking the meaning of Christmas."

Please pray for them as they go into dorms, for divine appointments with students, for softened hearts, and for people to be drawn to the event and ultimately to the Lord! Pray for the speaker as he prepares the message - that it would be God-centered and that he would clearly explain the gospel of Jesus Christ, for this is the true meaning of Christmas!

"This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost" (1 Timothy 1:15).
