Thanksgiving Boxes

Support a Family in Need

For Thanksgiving, the Mercy and Justice ministry is holding a food drive until November 10 collecting various food items to fill 25 Thanksgiving boxes for families in need. If you're interested in donating food items, stop by the Pretzel Kiosk. If you know of a possible family in need that could receive a box, please see Anne Smith.

All-Star Basketball Game

Team Awesome vs. Team Fantastic

Basketball is back. On Sunday, November 17 after worship service, Team Awesome, led by coach Stephen Koba and captain Mark Kha, takes on Team Fantastic with coach Sy Truong and captain Kiori Komatsu. 

An exhibition game will feature kids take on the moms of the church. Come on out to the basketball court. For more information see Kouichi Ikeda.

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts—filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way.

This year, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach another 11 million children in countries like Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda and Ukraine. 

Anyone can pack a shoebox! Individuals, families, and Growth Groups can fill empty shoeboxes with school supplies, hygiene items and fun toys, such as dolls or soccer balls. Stop by the display in the entry way to pick up an empty shoebox, and tips on what to pack.

Already packed a shoebox? Drop it off at the church before November 17. For more information , see Missions Deacon Arleen Koshimizu.
