Operation Christmas Child Packing Party

November 17

8:00 am - 9:15 am

Fellowship Hall East

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations!

Join us in sharing the Good News by packing shoeboxes this season!
You can support Operation Christmas Child in several ways.
1. You may pick up shoeboxes starting Sunday, October 29, in the second-floor atrium and pack them! They will need to be returned on Sunday, November 17, to Fellowship Hall East between 8:00-9:15 a.m.
2. You may collect shoebox items and bring to church on Sunday, November 17, to Fellowship Hall East and pack shoeboxes with your purchased items!

We will have a culminating Operation Christmas Child party in Fellowship Hall East on Sunday, November 17, from 8:00-9:15 a.m.! Bring your packed shoeboxes or your purchased items to pack shoeboxes during this time. We will have hot chocolate, coffee, and donuts for everyone to enjoy before Sunday School!
