Coming soon!
It’s hard to believe that it is
already time to start thinking
about Christmas. I’m talking
about Operation Christmas Child.
Each year we invite individuals,
families, and groups to fill
shoeboxes with gifts for children
throughout the world to help
them know about God and the
wonderful gift of Jesus. In order
for these boxes to be shipped in time
for Christmas, we have to start
early. Shoeboxes will be given
out in worship on Sunday, October
18. They should be returned to
the church with $7 for shipping by
November 8. We will dedicate the
boxes on Sunday, November 8th.
