WEEKLY BULLETIN

Welcome to North Orange Christian Church! We are a community of imperfect people who have found love in a perfect God. We aren’t big on titles here. We aren’t big on appearance here either. We are big on living in community and enjoying God’s grace together. I hope you feel at home here. I hope that North Orange is a place where you can hear the life-changing truths in God’s Word, live life in authentic community, and experience the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

Edmund Brooks, Lead Pastor

FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Blessing Tree

Come and see our Christmas Blessing tree brought to you by our youth students and Compassion International.

Take an ornament home and hang it on your tree as you choose to sponsor a gift for those in third world countries.

Options include Food for a child, Vegetable seeds, food for a family, chickens, goats, and water wells!

Also, stop by to take a prayer ornament and pray for the needs of that child this holiday season.

🎄 Socks for the Season! 🎄

This December, step up your holiday spirit from head to toe—literally! Our youth group is hosting a sock fundraiser to help raise funds for camp. These aren't just any socks; they're North Orange-themed Christmas socks, designed to keep your feet cozy while spreading some holy holiday cheer.

So, why settle for plain socks when you can sleigh your style and support a good cause at the same time? Stock up on socks, spread the joy, and help us step into the New Year with faith, fun, and fabulous feet! ✨👣🎁
