Upcoming Events:
 
Christmas Shoppe-
 
Our Christmas Shoppe dates are quickly approaching.  Our Shoppe will run Tuesday, December 1 - Thursday, December 3, which is the week immediately after Thanksgiving.  A letter will come home early next week with more information.  

We know there are many things happening at this time of the year, so we ask you to take a minute to check your calendar and see if you could volunteer just a few hours to help with this Shoppe?  Please sign up as soon as possible.  Helping the students shop for Christmas presents for their loved ones is a fun way to earn your volunteer hours!  Use the link below for the sign up genius! 
 
Attention Parents...please be advised that the Church of the Open Door Living Nativity is canceled for this year. Please make sure that if you signed up to help serve at the nativity that you will need to plan on serving at another event to earn your service hours.
Here is another way for you to enjoy some wonderful sounds of the season. The Abington Choral Club invites you to join them for a wonderful night of music.
HOST FAMILIES
We are excited about the opportunity to have international students join us for the months of January and February. We need a few families who are willing to provide a home for the students to stay in for one or two months. There is a stipend of $800.00 per month to cover room and board expenses for each student that you host. You would be responsible to provide meals and transportation during that time. What a great way to share the love and knowledge of Christ to someone that may impact their lives far into the future. If you are interested, please complete the application available through the link below and return to the ODCA office. If you have any questions about this program, contact Kim Wiley by phone or email kwiley@opendoorchristianacademy.com
