Support Operation Christmas Child

Now is the time to begin packing your shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child! Even if you have participated in this ministry before, you will definitely want to review the updated instructions—some things have definitely changed.

Want to participate without all of the shopping and packing? You can Build a Shoebox Online. (Additional fees apply and you must be able to pay online.) You can also reach out to any member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary for assistance with your shopping and packing.

More detailed instructions are available at How to Pack a Shoebox. In summary:

  1. Find a shoe box. There are some boxes available in the Fellowship Hall at church.

  2. Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or boy, and choose from the three age categories.

  3. Fill your box with gifts. To help, you can print a list of suggested gifts to take with you shopping or review Operation Christmas Child’s gift suggestions online. Pay special attention to the items that should NOT be packed in your shoe box (i.e., candy, toothpaste, drink powders, war-related items such as toy knives, toy guns, or military figures, etc.).

  4. Of utmost importance, remember to pray for the child who will receive your gift.

  5. Label your box and donate toward the shipping and processing costs. If you’d like to track where your shoe box is delivered or make your donation online, you can opt for Follow Your Box labels. Otherwise, you can print basic labels, but remember for this option to enclose your $9 donation per shoe box to cover shipping and processing costs.

  6. Drop off your box. Shoe boxes will be collected at Springfield PFWB Church until November 8. Any time from now until November 8, you can leave your shoe box in the Fellowship Hall, and we’ll get it on it’s way. After the morning church service on November 8, you will need to deliver your own box to a drop-off location before November 23.

If you have questions, reach out to Kim Jones or Contact Us.

Help us send the good news of great joy that a Jesus has come to seek and save the lost—one shoe box at a time.

Celebrating Deacon Ordination

DSC03764(b).jpg

“Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty” (Acts 6:3).

So were the instructions from the twelve apostles to the gathered disciples to assure that the proclamation of the Word of God and the care for the household of God were not at odds.

Springfield PFWB Church is blessed to have men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, who hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience to care well for the congregation as deacons (1 Tim. 3:9; Acts 6:3). This Sunday, we were doubly blessed to ordain a new deacon into service, which is truly cause for celebration.

Church members, remember our part of ordination, to uphold in prayer and encouragement not only this brother, but all who serve as deacons.

TODAY: Baptism Service

 
Baptism Service(1).png
 

Join us today as we celebrate the sacrament of baptism as part of our morning worship service. Baptism is a powerful symbol of the Spirit-empowered resurrection from death in sin to life in Christ Jesus.

Any baptism is a cause for great joy among the family of Christ. Yet, in this season when we’ve been forced to do nearly everything under the sun differently and when so many are sounding alarms over church decline, we are reminded that God is still at work among His people. He is still drawing sinners to repentance. He is still bringing lost souls from death to life. And He is still blessing His church to join in with the heavenly celebration of praise as a body of believers united in our goal of glorifying God in all things.

Due to the size of our sanctuary, we continue to have Outdoor Church each Sunday at 10:00 am. Plan to arrive a little early to get parked, maybe pull out your lawn chairs, and prepare to worship in or near your vehicle.

For those unable or uncomfortable to join us in the yard, our Church at Home resources remain available to you. Among the resources listed, you will find The Weekly Word, video recordings of each week’s sermon from Pastor Mike Mobley.

Questions? Contact us.
