Shoebox Collection
October 2 - November 17
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through gift-filled shoeboxes, we are bringing good news and great joy to boys and girls in other countries and leading their families to follow Him, too. Help us share the Gospel by packing a shoebox! You can pick up a shoebox to fill up in the Worship Lobby, or you can build one online.
Help us by packing a shoebox!
We are grateful you plan to join us this year in packing traditional boxes, building a shoebox online, or both. Below are links to assist you in your shoebox packing.
Traditional Shoeboxes are available for you to pick up and pack at the North Campus Worship Lobby.
Traditional Shoeboxes may be dropped off at the North Campus Worship Lobby or at the South Campus Main Office.
