Global Mission
What is Operation Christmas Child?
The Samaritan's Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way.
Pick up your box to fill from the Fellowship Hall or Narthex. Fill the box or you can donate money and Samarian’s Purse will fill it for you. Boxes need to be turned in by NOVEMBER 19th.
Linda Miller is coordinating this mission effort.

DONATE TO UMCOR
UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – be it famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and to be a source of help and hope for those left most vulnerable. We provide relief, response and long-term recovery grants when these events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover.
