Operation Christmas Child

November 11-18, 2007

Operation Christmas Child is a ministry organized by Samaritan's Purse to give Christmas presents to children around the world who would not receive anything. Churches around the country pack up presents donated by their people and ship them to the OCC who also includes Biblical literature in the language of the child.

So the real need that we help provide is two fold. First, we ourselves have been packing up boxes filled with presents. Secondly, we have become a relay center for all the surrounding area. Any churches in the area who participate will drop off their boxes at our church and we will relay them to the sorting and shipping headquarters for the region. Its a big operation that requires many of our people to volunteer as packers, but it is worth it knowing that kids around the world receive a gift from Jesus and His Church this Christmas.
