THE GREAT CALIFORNIA SHAKEOUT!
- Monthly fire drills are conducted
- Students are informed by their teachers what to do in case of an emergency
- Each classroom and area of Grace has emergency kits with food and water and a blanket for each child and adult on campus
- All of our teachers and staff are up to date on their CPR and First Aid training
Our Family Handbook has a section on Emergency Drills (P. 18) that we hope everyone will review. We hope you also have an emergency plan for your family. Here is the link to the ShakeOut: https://www.shakeout.org/california
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD IS COMING TO GRACE!
For the 6th year in a row Grace will be participating in the Operation Christmas Child ministry. We have the opportunity to serve Jesus by packing shoeboxes to be distributed worldwide to children in need. Each box will contain special Christmas gifts and most importantly the gift of hearing the gospel message of Jesus! Our campaign will begin October 7th and all boxes will be due back no later than Thursday, November 16th.
In addition, we will need volunteers to be at our table in the welcome center before and after weekend worship services during the campaign.
New this year! Grace will be a public OCC shoebox collection center for the week of November 13th-17th. We need to form a volunteer team for that week!
For more information and to volunteer contact Pastor Scott at sgary59@sbcglobal.net or call Yoke in the church office at 760-745-0831.
