SPOKES

---

Inspired by OSP’s Community Outreach Group (COG) SPOKES was formed to introduce our children to Outreach projects in which they can make a difference to others and share Grace with others near and far.

 We hope that we will see you often! 

Let’s show our children that every effort we make, no matter how small, can make a difference in the world.

For more information and to register for any of our SPOKES events, read the pages below and follow the signupgenius links.

Please note, RSVPs are required for SPOKES events!

All SPOKES events are family-friendly opportunities to serve various charitable groups in our community and many of the events conveniently take place at OSP on Partners Sundays.  We welcome all families to participate in at least one event this year and share the gift of service with your children while making new OSP friends!  All events require pre-registration.  

For many events, “in-person” participation including sorting & packing of food, clothing, books, etc. will be available or, if you prefer, you can simply drop off your applicable donations at the designated location. Monetary donations for some events (I.E. Thanksgiving Food Drive) are welcome if that is a more convenient option for your Family.

Please contact the SPOKES Team with questions.
