On Sunday, December 13, 2026, we’re heading out across the Wichita Falls area for our annual Reach Texoma: Sunday Before Christmas outreach!
This is one of our favorite opportunities of the year to step outside the walls of the church and make a difference in the lives of people throughout our community. Our teams will be delivering gift cards, gift baskets, and laundry supplies to individuals and families across Texoma. But even more importantly, we’ll be taking time to connect with people, encourage them, and pray with them.
Our heart behind this outreach has always been simple: to bring hope, health, and healing to a hurting world. We believe that even the smallest act of kindness can make a lasting impact. Whether it’s helping a family with groceries, meeting a practical need, or simply taking a moment to remind someone that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten, we want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.
This year marks our 8th annual Sunday Before Christmas outreach! Since beginning in 2019, this has become a special tradition for our Encounter Church family. Year after year, we've had the privilege of blessing people throughout the Wichita Falls area, building relationships, and sharing the love of Jesus in practical and meaningful ways. We’re excited to see what God will do through our church family this Christmas season!
And the best part is, there's a place for everyone to get involved! Whether you're going out with a team, helping prepare supplies, or giving financially, every person has an opportunity to be part of making a difference.
Here's how you can get involved:
- Join a team! Be watching for team sign-up sheets in the main hall. We encourage you to get involved and experience firsthand the joy of serving our community.
- Give financially! Your generosity helps make this outreach possible. You can give through the church app, on our website, or by designating your gift on a giving envelope.
- Pray with us! Begin praying now for the people and families we will encounter, for opportunities to share God's love, and for lives to be touched through this outreach.
For more information, you can connect with our event coordinators, Kimberly and Casey Ellzey, or contact the church office.
Let's come together as a church family, step out into our community, and light up Texoma with the love of Jesus this Christmas season!
