Operation Christmas Child

Imagine the childlike joy of boys and girls as they open their presents on Christmas morning. Now imagine that joy magnified tenfold as a child who never has received a present; a child who has suffered because of war, illness, natural disaster, poverty, or neglect, receives a shoe box filled to overflowing with gifts. That's the impact that Operation Christmas Child has on the children around the world.

What a wonderful Christmas ministry for your family to participate in during this Advent Season.

Suggested gifts:

Toys: Small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, plastic kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, toys that light up and make noise.

School Supplies: pens, pencils, sharpeners, crayons, markers, stamps, ink pad sets, coloring books, writing pads, paper, calculators.

Hygiene items: Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, combs, washcloth, etc. No liquid items please!

Other: Hard candy, lollipops, gum, sunglasses, flashlights, extra batteries, ball cap, t-shirts.
