SUMMER 2026!

There are several opportunities get GET INVOLVED in your community and help others. They're each as close at the nearest store!

The Food Pantry is seeking ANY shelf stable items or personal care items and Pack-A-Sack is looking for their typical pre-wrapped items (see community page for more!) Crossroads Church on Maple has agreed to host a Blessing Box near the Community Produce Stand. They also have started summer lunches for school aged kids!

Pioneer Club is asking for help filling Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child! We pack boxes every year, and for 2026, we want to commit to making the boxes FULL, FUN, and PERSONALIZED. Each child only receives one box in their lifetime, so we need to do our VERY best for each child. A box is located in the narthex for drop off before packing at the end of November. Let's make 2026 the best OCC yet! Click READ MORE below for full list of suggestions!

Christmas in July! Support Pioneer Club's ministry of packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child by sponsoring a pencil pouch! Items like pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, black, red, or blue pens, glue sticks, {no liquids} scissors, erasers, or any other supplies would be greatly appreciated! Take advantage of the low prices counting down to BACK TO SCHOOL to fill a pouch for a child. With each box, the child receives a months-long course of stories about Jesus, so this is not just a GIFT, but a real spiritual experience! School supplies are just one aspect of the boxes, but one that can make a huge difference for a child! Boxes packed are 2-4, 5-9, and 10-14, so all ages and stages of supplies are needed!

You might feel led to go on a color theme, character theme, sports, or something else, or you might just buy 3 packs of pencils to be spread throughout the boxes, and that's great! Anything an American kid would like, a child around the world would probably like, or use, too. A journal, notebook, coloring book, stickers, index cards, calculator, tape, ruler, DRY watercolor set, graph paper, and so on could be the thing that is special to a child around the world! WE HAVE THE POUCHES ALREADY, WE JUST NEED TO FILL THEM! Size is approximately 9x4.
