Operation Christmas Child

Operation Chrismas Child

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Last year our church members provided needy children with over 120 shoe boxes and we aim to do 150 this year. Members may make cash donations up until Sunday, November 8th (or a little later, if you can catch up with Cheryl Carter). With these donations, we will buy plastic shoeboxes and goodies in bulk. On Sunday the 15th, right after morning service, we'll all get together to decorate and pack our boxes. It is a wonderful time of fellowship for all ages—please join us. Food and drink will be provided. Of course, members are welcome to pack your own shoe boxes.
