It's time for our annual Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection! Each year, Candlelight partners with Samaritan's Purse to share the love of Jesus with children around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes.
Pick up a shoebox in the lobby, fill it with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and other gifts, and return it to Candlelight by Sunday, November 15.

Join us on Wednesday, November 18 at 6 PM for one of our favorite Candlelight traditions! Our annual Thanksgiving Fellowship Potluck is a wonderful opportunity to gather as a church family, enjoy a delicious meal, and give thanks to the Lord for His abundant blessings. Candlelight provides the turkey, rolls, and gravy; you provide the rest!
It takes many helping hands to make this evening possible! We need volunteers to:
- Cook and carve turkeys (provided by Candlelight)
- Serve food and run dishes to serving stations
- Help with cleanup
- Bring side dishes to share
Whether you can help before, during, or after the meal, we'd love to have you!
Bringing a side dish? Please stop by the Welcome Desk to pick up a disposable pan. All side dishes must be brought in doubled-up disposable pans to make cleanup easier for our hardworking volunteers
This is always a well-attended event, and seating fills up quickly! Additional seating will be available in the gym and lobby, so we encourage you to arrive early.
We look forward to sharing this special evening of food, fellowship, and thanksgiving with you!
