North Orange Toy Drive / Blessing Tree 🎄

This Christmas season, we’re inviting our church family to partner with us in blessing our community in two ways. Through our Storehouse ministry and/or our Toy Drive.

In the lobby, there will be a blessing tree, where you can choose an ornament, serving as a reminder to donate (either a monetary amount or ingredients for a meal) to our Storehouse ministry. We will be collecting supplies throughout all of December!

At the same time, we’re gathering new, unwrapped toys to bless children in our community who could use some extra joy this Christmas. All toy donations can be dropped off in the lobby on Sundays or at the church office during the week. NEXT SUNDAY, December 14th, is the last day to donate.

Thank you for helping us care for and uplift our neighbors in such a tangible way this holiday season!

Youth Fundraiser!

Hey North Orange! Looking for a meaningful Christmas gift for someone special? Look no further—our youth students have you covered!
This December, they’ll be selling North Orange–themed socks for $20, and all proceeds will go directly toward scholarships for Winter Retreat.
It’s a fun way to share some Christmas cheer while investing in our youth! 🎄🧦

Hymn Sing

Come and join us as we make a joyful noise to the Lord with traditional hymns. We will also be sharing the uplifting back stories of the men and women who inspired these doctrinally rich classics.

When: Monday, December 15th

Where: The Chapel

Time: Doors open at 6:30 pm and start at 7 pm

Christmas Cookies

We are excited to celebrate Christmas Eve together this year with a special service at 6 PM, featuring the story of Christ's birth. After the service, we will enjoy fellowship with hot chocolate, coffee, and Christmas cookies.

If you love to bake and would like to bring cookies, we are asking for 1-2 dozen from those who would like to participate.

Please email rebecca@nocc.org and let us know how many cookies you plan on bringing.

Storehouse Food Pantry

The food pantry is now open on Mondays and Tuesdays from 2-5 PM.

In light of recent events, we understand there is an increased need for food in our community. Therefore, if you are able, please consider donating! Storehouse is in need of clothing, non-perishable food, and people willing to serve.

Donations can be dropped off at the office during the week.

If you’re not sure what to donate, you can visit a list of simple meal recipes by clicking here. These make it straightforward and affordable for people to make delicious meals. You are welcome to purchase the ingredients needed for any recipe and donate them as a complete set.
