Calling all volunteers this Saturday!

Looking for a short term volunteer opportunity?  We need labor, muscle, smarts, tools, and great attitudes to converge at Christi’s at 10 am this Saturday.  You heard that we were fixing some things.  We need to move furniture and merchandise, do some painting, and a few things that we don’t even know need done until we get started.

We need volunteers who can move things large and small, disassemble, clean, paint, take out trash, put down drop cloths or just pitch in where needed.  We need people with tools or people without tools who can do some grunt work.  We are calling for volunteers.

If you have wanted to be a part of this wonderful ministry, now is the time to gather with board members and volunteers and help us move towards our grand reopening at Christi’s.

Christi’s Bazaar

110 S. Main Street

Elk City, Oklahoma

If you can’t make it exactly at 10, stop by as soon as you can.  Having a second and third wave of help would be fantastic.

Didjano you can help the WOFCC?

Didjano?

Did I know what?

Didjano that even if you can’t donate money or time you can still help the WOFCC?

I suppose, well, how exactly?

It could be as simple as sharing one of our posts or inviting your friends to like our page.  Much of what we do begins with connections.  We connect with some who want to volunteer and some who want to pray for us. 

We connect with some who are nearby and can avail themselves of our services or offer some help and some on the other side of the state, nation, or planet who will share our page and somehow connect with someone close by.

You have heard of the six degrees of separation?  OK, you might have heard it called the six degrees of Kevin Bacon (some list seven degrees).  Geography is not much of a barrier when it comes to connecting these days; and much of what we have and will accomplish has to do with connections.

Connecting people who want to serve with opportunities to be of service sometimes takes the most circuitous routes.

Connecting people with the gift of intercession and an organization that thrives not only on volunteers and donations but on prayer is just the obvious thing to do.

Connecting even with the youth and children plants seeds.  One day in the not too distant future some of these young folks may just be a volunteer, board member, or a monthly donor.

The WOFCC does many wonderful things in western Oklahoma.  We are eager to get the word out so that we may truly be at the heart of these communities.  We are calling for donors, volunteers, prayer warriors, and yes, even some web savvy folks to share what we do in every online venue they know.

We serve many who would go without medical care, heat, water, and other basic needs without the support of many who can and do help.  This is a season to make more connections.

Please help as you can.

Please share.

Wow! Look what's happening at Christi's Bazaar!

Black Friday has come and gone.  The same can be said for Cyber Monday, but the special sales at Christi’s Bazaar just keep on coming.

Why should I shop at Christi’s?

Despite the upscale sounding name, this is a thrift store.  That’s right; you should expect big savings on all items.  More than that, the proceeds of the store go to support the Western Oklahoma Family Care Center.

Here are half a dozen specials on the near horizon.

Christi’s Bazaar Special Sales starting next week.

1.      Tuesday and Saturday:  ½ price on everything in the store.

2.       Wednesday:  Senior citizen day--20% off storewide

3.       Thursday:  Secret Sale—you must go into store to see or check Facebook.

4.      Friday:  All household and knick-knacks--20% off. 

5.      Wednesday, December 9^th:  Christmas décor--70% off. 

6.      Bring your church bulletin in for a 10% discount any day.

Here is a special that wraps up this week:  This Friday, everyone who makes a purchase gets a free Christmas ornament.

There are great prices all of the time, plus sales, but the greatest incentive is that the proceeds go to help the Western Oklahoma Family Care Center.  That translates into helping your neighbors who are in need.

There aren’t too many places where you can indulge your urge to shop and help your neighbors at the same time.  Come and bring your shopping appetite and a generous heart to Christi’s Bazaar, 112 S. Main Street in Elk City, Oklahoma.

Please support Christi's--get a bargain and help people in need

To all of the saints living in Western Oklahoma,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Many of your congregations already know of the Western Oklahoma Family Care Center and what we do as God’s love in action in four counties in western Oklahoma.  Some, however, may not realize that we also operate a thrift store.

Christi’s  Bazaar is located at 110 S. Main Street, Elk City, Oklahoma and proceeds from the store support the Family Care Center.  We ask your help in letting your congregations know about us.  We need not only to generate revenue to support the center but need volunteers and donations as well.  Perhaps there are some within your families of faith that are led to volunteer.  They may stop in Christi’s and ask for a volunteer application Tuesday through Saturday.

To help promote traffic to Christi’s among the faithful in western Oklahoma, please announce that anyone that brings their church bulletin into the store will receive an extra 10% off any purchase through January 2016.

If you already have an allegiance to an area thrift store, we do not want to disrupt that in any way, but if anyone has not considered shopping at or donating to a thrift store to support local ministries, please consider Christi’s in the coming weeks.  Christi’s also has a Facebook page where we announce sales and specials.  Please help us be God’s love in western Oklahoma.

Be blessed and be a blessing!
