Christmas Gift Festival on November 10

Don't miss our annual Christmas Gift Festival on Sunday November 10th, as we share a light lunch with representatives from three local agencies:


  • Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans – empowering at risk veterans, and their families, to become self-sufficient, productive members of their communities. https://www.helpaveteran.org/
  • Mutual Ground – creating a safe environment where individuals impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence and substance use are able to reclaim their power. https://mutualground.org/
  • Suicide Prevention Services – opening minds, saving lives, and restoring hope through prevention, intervention, and postvention, using education, advocacy, and collaboration. https://www.spsamerica.org/

This is an opportunity to learn about these organizations and donate to support their missions. Our Outreach Team will be on hand to accept donations and distribute special cards for you to inform friends and relatives of a donation made in their honor. It's a great gift for those "impossible to buy for" folks on your Christmas list.


Make a gift by:

  • Texting “CCOB CGF” to 73256,
  • online:  https://onrealm.org/CCBatavia/give/CGF
    --Use the MEMO drop down to select the agency you wish to support, or simply give to the  Festival and your gift will be applied to each agency.
  • Write a check to the church with “Christmas Gift Festival” in the memo line.
