Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritans Purse that seeks to provide Christmas gifts along with the message of Jesus to children around the world. This year, National Collection Week is November 16–23. Be encouraged to take an empty shoebox and to bring it back by 10 AM on 11/23.

You can find a number of resources near the welcome center to help you to do this. In addition, if you'd like to donate supplies for our box building party, please leave them in the container located there. To learn more about how to build a shoebox, go to https://samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/pack-a-shoe-box/

This year, True Life Church will be serving as a relay center. This means that any individuals or churches in our area can bring their completed boxes to us as well and we will make them ready for the next step. Please visit the info table located by the welcome center for more info or contact Glen.
