Operation Christmas Child

Each year our church family sets a goal to collect a certain number of filled shoeboxes for the "Operation Christmas Child" ministry, which provides gifts to children all over the world for Christmas.  In 2010 our goal was to exceed 200 shoeboxes and we collected close to 220!  This is not only a wonderful ministry, but a local one at that!  Some of our church members venture down into Charlotte every year to the Operation Christmas Child Distribution Center to help prepare and distribute the thousands of boxes they collect every year.  This ministry is usually started in mid-November, so please consider taking part in this the next time it comes around!  For more information about Operation Christmas Child, please visit the Samaritan's Purse website.
