Operation Christmas Child!
A simple gift with eternal impact!
Since 1993, over 100 million children in 150 countries
have experienced love through the power of a simple
shoebox gift. When received, this gift introduces them
to the “greatest gift” of all—Jesus Christ. During the
month of October, Tates Creek is packing shoeboxes to
impact children in needy and desperate
situations. You may pick up packing
instructions in the Main Foyer including
“Family Night” packing ideas. Our
church goal is 200 boxes! Be sure to
return shoeboxes to the Worship Center
by Dedication Sunday, November 8.

2. New Online Giving Coming Soon
We will soon be releasing a new
online giving system. The new
system is designed to work well
with mobile devices. In addition
to debits from your bank account,
we will also be accepting gifts via
debit or credit cards.
More info to come soon!
