OBCC has adopted a battalion of soldiers that return from Iraq a few days before Christmas. Most of them will spend Christmas on base instead of with their families. (Their post-deployment leave starts in mid-January.)

We're collecting gift items, homemade baked goods, cards & personal notes to package and ship to them for Christmas as a way of thanking them for their service. Donations for these packages are being accepted at Oak Brook Community Church.

We invite you to join us at 6:00pm on Sunday, December 7th, for a Packing Party.  The evening will include a Christmas Carol Sing-Along, light refreshments, and a great time as our community comes together to thank these brave men & women and welcome them home.
