On Sunday, October 8, our Operation Christmas Child mission project will officially begin! You can pick up a shoebox starting on that day. There will be a display of boxes in the church concourse near the Mission Landing entrance. There will also be a pick-up station in the KIDS Ministry welcome area. This pick-up station is in the Hope Building at the Hiter Street entrance (door #7). Packing instructions will also be available. The last day to return boxes will be Sunday, November 5th.

You may also build a shoebox online. If you click on the following link, you will be directed to the Operation Christmas Child Website, where you can follow instructions to pack a shoebox online. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/

Each child that receives a box will also hear the Gospel. The shoebox recipients will also be able to enroll in a 12-lesson follow-up discipleship program called "The Greatest Journey." These children will be able to learn to follow Christ and share HIM with others.
