We are a MISSIONALLY MINDED family

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:13-16

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

One shoebox. One child. One chance to share the Good News.

Pick up an empty shoebox in the church foyer or at the Activities Building entrance, fill it with gifts for a boy or girl, and bring it back to the church. You can still bring your boxes to us!

HOW TO PACK A SHOEBOX

Never packed a shoebox before? It’s easy, and it’s a great project for families, classes, and small groups. Follow these six steps and your box will be ready for drop-off at the church.

  • STEP 1
    Grab a Box

    Pick up an Operation Christmas Child shoebox in the church foyer or at the Activities Building entrance. You can also use any standard-size cardboard or plastic shoebox from home.

  • STEP 2
    Choose Boy or Girl and an Age

    Decide who you’d like to pack for, a boy or a girl, ages 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14, and mark the label on the lid so your gifts get to the right child.

  • STEP 3
    Start with a WOW Item

    Every box should have one medium-to-large gift that will make a child’s face light up, like a soccer ball with a pump, a stuffed animal, or a doll.

  • STEP 4
    Fill It Up

    Pack the rest of the box with school supplies (pencils, crayons, notebooks), hygiene items (toothbrush, washcloth, comb), small toys, and clothing like socks or a t-shirt. Add a personal note or a photo of your family!

  • STEP 5
    Include the $10 Shipping Donation

    A $10 donation per box helps cover shipping and ministry costs. Place cash or a check in an envelope on top of the gifts, or give online through Samaritan’s Purse to get a tracking label so you can follow your box and find out where it goes!

  • STEP 6
    Close, Pray, and Bring It Back

    Secure the lid with a rubber band (please don’t tape it shut). Then pray for the child who will receive your gift and bring your box to the church.

  • GOOD TO KNOW
    Please Don’t Pack

    Food or candy, liquids or lotions, toothpaste, soap, medicine, war-related toys (toy guns, knives, or military figures), or used or damaged items. These can be held up in customs or harm a child’s health.
