Operation Christmas Child: We are partnering with Operation Christmas Child for our fall community service project. Every shoebox shares the gospel and blesses children in need all around the world.

How to Pack Your Shoebox:
1. Decide if you will pack a shoebox for a boy or a girl and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14 years old. Select a "wow" toy such as a doll, stuffed animal, or soccer ball with a pump.
3. Fill the box with other fun small toys, personal hygiene items, and school supplies. Click here for gift suggestions. (Do NOT include toothpaste or candy due to increasing customs regulations).
4. Pray for the child who will receive your shoebox. You can even include a personal note, photo, or drawing. You can print out a suggested coloring sheet by clicking this link.
5. Be sure your shoebox can be closed completely and secured with a rubber band. Don't forget to attach the appropriate label so we know if your gift is for a boy or girl.

We will collect shoeboxes on November 3rd, 10th and 17th. If you will not be at church on one of these Sundays, you can take your shoebox to one of the drop-off locations available around Marietta during National Collection Week (November 18th - 25th). Please note: even though it occurs during National Collection Week, we will NOT collect shoeboxes on Sunday, November 24th.
