It's time to get ready for Operation Christmas Child!
Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the good news of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. You can participate by filling a shoebox with gifts, including a large gift such as a stuffed animal, school supplies, and personal care items (no liquids or soap). Shoeboxes and labels are available in the Narthex. Please include a $10 donation to help cover shipping costs and return your completed shoebox to the Narthex by Sunday, November 15. If you would rather have the shopping and packing done for you, you can donate $30 per shoebox, and a box will be prepared on your behalf. For questions, please contact Patty Latter
