Coming Up
December 3-9, 2023
CHRISTMAS HYMN SING
Join us THIS Sunday, December 3 at 4pm in the Bauserman Sanctuary for a special time of singing familiar Christmas hymns, prayer, reflection, and a special performance from our children’s choir. This event will be in-person only so make plans to attend. Bring your family, friends, and small group as we sing the hymns of the season together!
BLUE CHRISTMAS SERVICE
If you find Christmas is a difficult time and are seeking an alternative to the traditional celebrations, plan to attend our Blue Christmas service on Sunday, December 17 at 6pm in the Bauserman Sanctuary. This is a time of encouragement and remembrance planned to help you during this season.
CHRISTMAS OUTREACH
This year, you can share the warmth and joy of the Christmas season with foster teens and children in the state of Ohio. Your love and generosity will help ensure they feel “seen” and loved. You can participate and donate by December 11 in any of the following ways:
1) One Church Foster Teen Christmas Outreach:
Foster Teen Outreach provides $25 gift cards to all teens in Ohio’s foster care system. This annual campaign originated at One Church in 2019 to help ensure foster teens receive intentional love and support during the holidays. We’re excited to partner with them this year through your donation of gift cards or other monetary donation.
What You Can Give: $25 gift cards to restaurants and retail stores OR a monetary donations so we can purchase gift cards. Many of these teens live in rural areas, so we’re requesting cards for retail stores that have an online presence and/or restaurants that likely have locations in most rural counties. Recommended stores/restaurants include: Walmart, Target, Old Navy, Taco Bell, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s. Bring your gift cards to the church building. On Sundays, drop them in the clear, acrylic boxes located outside each worship space. Other than Sundays, donations can be dropped off at the reception desk.
2) Franklin County Children Services Suitcases for Children:
We’re also partnering with Franklin County Children Services to provide small suitcases for children of all ages in Franklin County who are entering the foster care system. A simple, but caring gift like a suitcase can help a child feel some sense of security in a time of change and uncertainty. Pack up some love and share your generosity by donating a new suitcase for a foster child this Christmas!
What You Can Give: Bring a new, carry-on-size or smaller suitcase with wheels. The children don’t pack a lot, but a new, small suitcase will make it easy for them to handle their belongings.
* One quarter of our Thanksgiving Special Offering this year will also be directed to our Christmas Outreach for foster teens and children.

Join us for Christmas Eve Services on Sunday evening, December 24. We’ll be offering identical candlelight services at 5pm and 7pm in the downstairs Worship Center—featuring our Chancel Choir, worship team, chamber orchestra and bell choir.
