Event description

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,’ which is translated, “God with us.” (Matthew 1:21-23)

Join us on our last OCCM meeting to celebrate and revive the true meaning of CHRIST-mas! As God gave up His only Son to take away the punishment for our sins, gifting us a way to spend eternity with Him, we must remember to show our gratitude this Christmas season.

This year, OCCM will be having a Toy Drive/Ugly Sweater Christmas Celebration! Please bring a NEW UNWRAPPED toy to donate to the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and make sure to wear the ugliest sweater you own!
