Operation Christmas Child 2025

Pick up a shoebox on Sunday, October 19th, at the Welcome Table and return your filled box by Sunday, November 16.

Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan’s Purse) equips local churches around the world to share the Good News of Jesus with children through simple shoebox gifts—school supplies, small toys, and hygiene items—reaching communities affected by war, poverty, disaster, famine, and disease.
