2018 Missions Fair
The Missions & Outreach Ministry held their bi-annual Missions Fair over the weekend of October 20-21. All of the nine supported Missions were represented with tables in Fellowship Hall. The event began with a banquet of South Carolina “Best in State” BBQ Pork dinner, introductions of each of our mission representatives and a special presentation by Doug and Abby Vinez. Doug and Abby spoke about their adventures and missionary work in training Zambian pastors, church planters, and worship leaders to effectively equip and lead their congregations to evangelize and disciple their communities for Christ. the gospel message.
The Mission Sunday worship service began with a parade of flags and mission representatives into the Sanctuary. Scott Fogel, our supported Mission in France addressed the congregation via Skype. Doug Vinez presented a stirring sermon titled “Do You Know Who You Are?” from Acts 1:1-11. Doug’s sermon can be accessed on the home page of the OIEPC website. A special thanks and kudos to Susan Smith and her Missions Fair Committee for their work in pulling this event together.

OIEPC Missions - Angel Tree
The Missions committee has once again been asked by the Town of Oak Island Resource Center to participate in their Angel Tree project. This program is coordinated by input from the schools, police department and local social workers identifying people in need in our Oak Island community. Each person places their request of a gift on a tag that is then hung on our Christmas tree that will be set up in the narthex. These requests are from children and adults or families. They may wish for clothing, toiletries, laundry detergent or a gift card to a local store. Toys requests for the children are provided by another church on Oak Island. Each gift you provide will make Christmas a little bit brighter for our neighbors. Last year this congregation was very generous and 130 requests were filled. Because of the generosity of our congregation and others in the community, last year all the children received socks, a pair of shoes or gift card to purchase shoes, along with underwear, clothing, toys and other needed items.
OIEPC Men's Group
