Operation Christmas Child—PACKING PARTY—November 17

Operation Christmas Child is coming up again, and Hillside is participating Church-Wide this year! Everyone is invited!!

We would love for you to join us by helping spread the word, donating items for shoeboxes, and participating in the party.

There are several ways you can get involved:

• Donate Items + Buy in Bulk: Contribute gifts and supplies to help fill Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Use the OCC Amazon shopping list for ideas. Purchasing items in larger quantities helps us fill more shoeboxes.

• Attend the packing party: Join us on November 17th at 6:00 p.m. to pack shoeboxes together.

Donated items can be placed in the Operation Christmas Child collection box located in the Hillside church lobby through November 17th.

You can also sign up to RSVP and volunteer. Reach out to Amanda Yates and Brittany Stewart for more info.

Women’s Afternoon Christmas Tea

Save the Date: December 19

Sisters! Join us for a lovely tradition of celebrating the Christmas season together.

More information to come.

Women are welcomed and valued here as vital members of the body of Christ.  Growth and intimacy in a woman’s relationship with Jesus is of the utmost importance for this ministry.  Together women learn, mature and share the joys and trials of life as they seek to understand God’s design for their lives.

Our main focus is to know and be known.

This is a place you can connect with others and journey together toward God’s best.

Please email the Women’s Ministry Leadership Team if you have any questions.
