Operation Christmas Child
National Collection Week:
November 18-25, 2024
(Church deadline is November 13)
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful ministry that has global impact! The boxes are packed, shipped and delivered to children all over the world. These wonderful gifts mean so much to them! When you participate in this worthwhile ministry, you will also be blessed knowing that you are reaching far beyond your typical sphere of influence and making a difference in someone else's life even though you have never met. We invite you to take part in any/all the ways available here at FBC.
If you would like to pack your own box, please be sure to bring it back to the church by Wednesday, November 13, so we can get them all to the collection center before the national deadline.
Please include $10 for the shipping cost. If you are going to write a check to cover shipping, please make your check payable to Samaritan's Purse.

Our Goal
This year our church goal is to send 500 boxes.
Our Kids and Youth Ministries have made a goal to pack 300 of those boxes! You can choose which way you want to participate, you can pack a box yourself or you can give below to help our kids and students reach their goal.
Shoe Box Items
Thank you for your donations you purchased from our Amazon wish list for our Kids and Student boxes. We received over 8000 items!

If you decide to pack your own box, please be sure NOT to pack the following items as they are not allowed to be sent:
candy, gum, toothpaste, used/damaged items, war related items, seeds, food, liquids, lotions, medications, vitamins, breakable items, glass containers, or aerosol cans.
