SHOEBOX MISSION PROJECT – Our current mission project is packing Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. Every box is an opportunity to reach a child with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Shoeboxes are available in the church narthex. After filling your boxes, please rubber band each box to ensure it remains closed. Shipping cost is $10 per box. Last day to bring filled boxes to church is Sunday, November 16th. 

There are many ways to serve in the Shoebox project. If you don’t care to pack shoeboxes, please consider helping by donating for shipping costs. A special box is available on the sanctuary entry table for donations.
