MINISTRIES

Food Collection Baskets: The Missions Committee has launched an ongoing food collection to be distributed by the Oak Cliff Churches for Emergency Aid (OCCEA). OCCEA, established 27 years ago, is a collective effort of more than 30 churches providing emergency aid to hundreds of persons each month. The all-volunteer staff utilizes volunteers to run the distribution facility located in the Oak Cliff Presbyterian Church at Hampton and Hwy. 67.  The food collection baskets are at the entrances to the sanctuary every Sunday to remind us to keep the needy in our prayers and on our grocery lists. Reminder grocery lists are available to take home.

Items needed:

Baby Food Jars

Baby Food Cereal

Baby Formula (Infamil or Similac)

Diapers (size 4 & up, pull-ups)

Dishwashing Liquid

Peanut Butter

Powdered Milk

Personal Hygiene Products

Cash or Checks

For more information, pick up a flyer at the main entrance to the church. To inquire about volunteering as little as one morning a month, contact Mary Rakowitz, Director OCCEA, at (214) 943-7757.

Austin Street Centre: Bring donations of clothes and household items to donate to the Austin Street Centre located near downtown Dallas. These items are collected in a closet in the Fellowship Hall each week. When the closet is full, a truck is scheduled to pick up the donations.  For more information visit their website at: http://www.austinst.org/.

Hymn Sing and Ice Cream Social: Every fifth Sunday at 6:00 pm we gather in the sanctuary to sing all our old favorite hymns. Folks from all over the community join in this fun event. Everyone is welcome. Practice a solo, join a friend in a duet, or bring an ensemble to sing. Dust off your trumpet or drums. This is your time to perform. Think about a hymn that you really miss singing, and request it during the evening. After we are nearly hoarse from singing, we adjourn to the Fellowship Hall for a cool bowl of ice cream and cookies.

Nursery: A nursery is available for children ages 4 years old and under. Our member and staff person, Laura Fannin, is our experienced childcare provider and leads this ministry. Children are encouraged to stay in the worship service until after the children's message, however very small children may want to go over to the nursery at the start of the service. The nursery is located in the Cottage beside the church.

Route 66:  Everyone is welcome to come to this Wednesday evening Bible Study class held at Gene Hudson's home.  The class starts at 7:00 pm and is led by Ted Gruebbel.  For directions to Gene's house, please contact the Pastor.

Sunshine Fellowship: Invite your neighbors and friends to the Sunshine Fellowship in the church Fellowship Hall. This fun event is held on the first Wednesday of every month starting at 10:00 am. Everyone attending enjoys lots of fun camaraderie as we play games and share lunch. Bring a simple dish, chips, or sandwiches and your favorite game to teach everyone to play.

Wheatlandettes: Wheatland women's Bible Study class.  Meet with us at Fellowship Hall at 6:45 PM each Wednesday for great food, fellowship and accountability.
