Operation: Christmas Child is in full swing for 2024, and you can still help this year's campaign in any of the following ways:
Fill a shoebox with gifts (November 3 – November 24) - We have wrapped shoeboxes available for pickup in the Sanctuary or from the church office. Drop by anytime and pick up a box to fill. Use the label to indicate on your shoebox whether it was packed for a boy or girl and which age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14. Then let the shopping begin! Select a medium to large "wow" item, such as a soccer ball with a pump or stuffed animal, and fill it with other fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items. Don't forget to include a personal note and photo—sometimes, these are the child's favorite things to receive! At Operation Christmas Child's Amazon storefront, gift suggestions can be found at amazon.com/shop/operationchristmaschild.
Return the Shoebox: Please return them no later than November 24. On November 24, we will pray over the gifts and dedicate them to God's Glory and the advancement of his kingdom. Every box represents the life of a young boy or girl whom the Gospel will touch.

Pray: Most importantly, "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) for the children receiving our shoebox gifts. Please also pray for the family to be receptive to the Good News of Jesus Christ and for the Gospel to transform their community.
“Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.” - Matthew 19:13-15
