News You Can Use

Don’t miss the annual Christmas Gift Festival on Sunday, November 9 as we invite representatives from three local agencies to share the important work that they do in our community. This is an opportunity to learn about these organizations and donate to support their missions.

• Batavia Apartments: Create stable, vibrant and healthy communities by developing, financing and operating affordable program enriched housing for families, seniors and people with special needs who lack economic resources to access quality housing opportunities.

• Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry and Clothes Closet: Provide food, non-food household and personal items and clothing for those individuals and families residing in Batavia and Batavia Township who are in need.

• Hesed House: Help individuals who are facing homelessness or are currently homeless. Our mission is to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, shelter the homeless and give people the chance to hope again.

The Outreach Team will be available to accept donations in Paxton Hall on November 9, 16, 23 and 30.  We will have special gift cards for you to inform friends and relatives of a donation made in their honor.  It is a great gift for those “impossible to buy for” folks on your Christmas list! 

Here are ways to make donations:

• Write a check to the church with “Christmas Gift Festival” in the memo line.
• Give 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 Christmas Gift Festival and your donation will be applied to each 

           Agency.

• Text “CCOB CGF” to 73256 to give using your mobile device.

Thank you for your support of our Christmas Gift Festival!
