Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas child is a mission project associated with Samaritan's Purse, a Christian ministry led by Franklin Graham, son of the Rev. Billy Graham. Beginning Sunday, November 6, our Children's Ministries will provide empty boxes that members and guests may pick up at various locations around the church and fill with new small toys, school supplies and other small gifts. The boxes will be collected at the Family Avent Event at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 3, and sent to needy children all over the world. Boxes may also be returned to the Children's Ministry entrance downstairs by December 4. All boxes will be mailed on December 5.

Bring filled Operation Christmas Child boxes to be blessed and then move downstairs where families can build their own gingerbread churches. Registration begins November 6 to ensure that each family has their own gingerbread church to decorate. Please bring your own candy, cereal and other items to share in the decorating. Contact
