AT BAYSIDE ADVENTURE
Celebrate heartwarming traditions with your local Bayside Campus. We invite you to jump in with your Bayside Adventure family this holiday season. We’re making spirits bright in our community through service projects and we’re gathering with friends and family to make memories with fun holiday festivities.
Last but not least, we’re gathering for powerful worship and a message of hope at our Christmas Services!
HOLIDAY COMPASSION PROJECTS
Caring for others and remembering those in need at the Holidays…
The holidays are right around the corner and we are gearing up to make an impact in our community and beyond this season. Regardless of your interests, gifts, talents or time, there is a place for YOU to make a difference for the lost and hurting this year!
In partnership with Chuck Colson’s Prison Fellowship Ministries, share Christian love with the children of incarcerated parents through the provision of a Christmas gift. When a parent is imprisoned, it is the children who suffer the most. But this year, you can let these children know they are not forgotten.
GET INVOLVED: Stop by our table in the lobby during weekend services and choose a child you’d like to bless this Christmas.
GIFT DEADLINE: Wrapped gifts must be returned no later than November 17/18.
Spread some Christmas cheer by participating in our toy drive in partnership with an area school. This toy drive will bless over 250 kids, so they don’t go without this Christmas.
GET INVOLVED: Visit us in the lobby to grab a gift tag or two with specific gift suggestions from those benefiting from our partnership. In addition, join us for our Giving Tree Wrap Party at Bayside Adventure, on Saturday, December 8th from 10am – 2pm. Click here to sign up online.
During Thanksgiving weekend at ALL SERVICES we are partnering with Compassion International to sponsor children in Burkina Faso. The country’s high population and limited resources result in poor economic prospects for the citizens.
GET INVOLVED: Pick up a Child Sponsorship packet Thanksgiving weekend and help a child rise above their circumstances and become all God created them to be.
November 24 - 27
GET INVOLVED: The “Compassion Experience” will be featured on the Bayside Adventure campus. You can make a difference in a child’s life by joining the team that helps with the tours. This is a great family serve project around the Thanksgiving holiday.

Bring some encouragement and comfort to those experiencing homelessness this season. In partnership with The Gathering Inn, we’ll be blessing our friends with new sleeping bags at a big Thanksgiving Dinner.
GET INVOLVED: Donate a new adult sized sleeping bag this season. Sleeping bags turn a cold night a little warmer.
DONATION DEADLINE: Please drop off your new sleeping bags by November 11th, so they can be distributed at our Thanksgiving Dinner Party!
The Bayside Military Connection Team is committed to supporting and encouraging our deployed military troops. Please join us in showing our love and appreciation by sending care packages filled with a taste of home.
GET INVOLVED: Stop by our table in the lobby during weekend services to pick up a list of “Suggested Items” and a box to create your special care package. Please consider contributing $13 per package for shipping. Make it personal and include a note or card of appreciation!
PACKAGE DEADLINE: Care Packages must be returned by Sunday, November 18th. Why is this date important? We want to make sure packages arrive before Christmas!
HAVE A LOVED ONE OR FRIEND SERVING IN HARM’S WAY: Sign them up to receive a care package this Christmas at https://tinyurl.com/2018-military
Share God’s love with kids around the world by participating in this family friendly project. Last year over 10 million children worldwide received the gospel message through Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes filled with the love of Christ. Bayside Adventure alone collected 1,000 of those.
GET INVOLVED: Operation Christmas Child boxes will be available November 3/4 and 10/11 during weekend services or use your own shoe box and fill it with toys, hygiene items and more for a child ages 2-14 years old. Samaritanspurse.org has box labels and all the info you need or visit us in the lobby.
