Operation Christmas Child brings the Good News of Jesus Christ to children through the simple gift of a shoebox. You can impact His Kingdom by packing a shoebox filled with toys, hygiene item, and school supplies. These shoeboxes will be distributed to children all across the world, and the children will get to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their native language. No time to shop? You may donate $25 per box and a team at our church will pack a box on your behalf. You can also donate in honor of a loved one – just<b> come see us in the lobby October 21-November 11 and ask how! Shoeboxes must be returned to church the week of November 11.</b>
