Operation Christmas Child Begins

We are now handing out shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. This ministry provides gifts to children across the world, many with little or no access to the Gospel. Join us in sharing the joy of Christ's birth by packing a box with your family or small group. This year we have 2 ways to participate:

Boxes will be available in the lobby and the hub after services and at various ministries throughout the week. Box collection Sunday is November 19.
You can also pack and send a shoebox online for just $25! Click the button below to pack a box now!

We have a goal as a church family of 1000 boxes. Be a part of this Christmas tradition to bring the Gospel to the end of the earth!
