Operation Christmas Child is sponsored by Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse ministry. They provide the supplie sand directions for constructing and filling the shoeboxes that will be delivered to needy children around the world near Christmas time. In early November the shoeboxes and direction lists will be available in the church sanctuary. People fill the shoeboxes and return them to the church before or during the collection week. It is very helpful if you pay for the empty shoebox, the items to fill the shoebox that you pick out using their suggestion lists and the shipping for mailing the shoebox.

To help during the collection week, use the Sign-Up sheet at the Operation Christmas Child display. Thank you for your generous outpouring of love to these children.
