What an Advent/Christmas season we've had! We are overwhelmed with the generosity, care and support that we've seen displayed over the last month. From our Christmas Giving Project, to our Carols & Cookies night, to our Christmas Eve services, we've seen the strength of the community that God has built at Oceanside Community Church.

In early December we welcomed over 150 people to our Carols & Cookies event, many of whom accepted the invitations by members of our church family. Then, on Christmas Eve we welcomed over 450 people through our doors! Many of these folks had no prior connection to our church. They simply came. It was our privilege to be able to share the light of Jesus with so many people. The Lord is at work in the Oceanside area and we are humbled to be able to participate in his work as kingdom servants.

Our deep and heartfelt thanks to all those who volunteered their time and efforts, provided goodies, in-kind donations, financial contributions, expertise, and more this Christmas season and throughout 2023. You are making a difference in the lives of others! As we move towards 2024, may the words of the Lord in Numbers 6:24-26 wash over you:

The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.
