Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled show boxes and the Good News of God's love. This program of Samaritan's Purse provides opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. Along with shoe box gifts, millions of children are given gospel booklets in their own language. In 2004, over 7 million shoe boxes were collected worldwide and distributed to children in 95 countries.

The red and green cardboard boxes are available and stacked in our church foyer or in the Solomon's Porch area outside the sanctuary.  Plastic shoeboxes are also available for $2.  Instructions on what sort of gifts for either a boy or girl, and the ages of the children that will be receiving these gift boxes, is all specified in the handout available when you pick up your box(es).

Thank you in advance for taking part in this ministry of blessing to the children of the world. God bless you, and Merry Christmas.
