Adopt-A-Child
The Adopt-A-Child Santa program through Emprise Bank is in full swing this holiday season Please pick an ornament from the tree in the anteroom. Each ornament has a list of items the child would like for Christmas along with their apparel sizes. All gifts need to be new gifts with tags attached or gift receipt enclosed. The bank asks that you bring your wrapped gift(s) to the bank to be placed under their tree. Clearly write or attach the ornament with the child's assigned number on each package. All gifts need to be delivered no later than December 12th, 2025. Just a reminder, you may take more than 1 child if you want to.
Be a Greeter
We are looking for warm, friendly individuals to join our team of Sunday morning greeters. This role is essential, as greeters are the first faces seen by members and new guests, setting a welcoming tone for everyone who enters our church. It’s a wonderful opportunity to serve the congregation, make meaningful connections, and extend Christ’s love to others. If you’re looking for a fulfilling way to volunteer and brighten someone’s day, we’d love to have you join us!
Tuesday Prayer Time
Each Tuesday at High Noon we would like for you to fast and pray for Otterbein Ministry. That we will be genuine followers of Christ and have an eternal impact on our neighborhood, community, county, state, nation and world! You are invited to join us at noon on the first Tuesday of each month in the sanctuary for prayer!!
