Compassion International

For the final week of One Prayer, we partnered with Compassion International to encourage all of our One Prayer churches to consider sponsoring children that are in need all over the world. Thank you to those that visited the Compassion International booth this past weekend and decided to sponsor a child. Your giving will make a tremendous impact in the lives of a needy child. It is still not too late to sponsor a child. Sponsorship costs between $38 and $45 per month per child and this would be a great opportunity for your LifeGroup to partner together and sponsor a child. Talk it over with your LifeGroup this week and consider sharing the cost of sponsoring a child. Not only would it change the life of a child, but it would be a great ministry opportunity for your LifeGroup. If your group is interested in sponsoring a child please visit http://www.compassion.com/sponsor_a_child/default.htm

Flood Relief Efforts – Update

Teams from all of the Oklahoma City area campuses of LifeChurch.tv are out in full force today helping clean up from the devastating floods that occurred yesterday here in the metro area; however, we still need your help. If you or your LifeGroup would like to help in the flood relief efforts this evening, go to the Oklahoma City campus at 5:30pm located at NW 178^th and N. Pennsylvania. Teams will then leave from the campus to go to the flooded areas. If you cannot make it to the campus at that time, then simply go to the clean-up site, which is located at the corner of NW 172^nd and N. Western. Just follow the LifeChurch.tv directional signs to find where you need to check in. Here are the supplies that you can bring: brooms, shovels, rakes, work gloves and cordless drills. Make sure to wear boots or thick shoes. Teams will most likely be working up until night. Let’s go and be the hands and feet of Christ as help those who were in need.

Flood Relief Efforts

If you are interested in helping in the relief efforts from today’s flooding in the Oklahoma City area, the Oklahoma City campus is mobilizing a group that will be working to clean up the neighborhoods near their campus tomorrow morning. Several neighborhoods near the campus were severely impacted by the flooding. Those that want to help should meet at the Oklahoma City campus at NW 178^th and N. Pennsylvania Ave. at 8:30am tomorrow morning. Here are the supplies that you can bring: brooms, shovels, rakes, work gloves and cordless drills and make sure to wear boots/thick shoes. The campus will also have garbage bags, water coolers, and anything else they can think of that can help with the relief efforts.

Tornado Relief Efforts

The Northwest campus is partnering with Oklahoma County to deploy volunteers for tornado relief efforts. Volunteers are needed at The County Barn located at 7501 S. Anderson in Oklahoma City Monday through Friday from 8:00am-5:00pm. There is a significant need to help serve lunch to the victims and workers from 11:00am-1:00pm. From this location county officials will organize and disperse volunteers to needed areas for clean-up work. Bring work gloves, chain saws, rakes, and trash bags.
