Christmas Compassion Projects
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Help spread the Good News of God’s love to children in need! By packing a shoebox full of simple gifts and sending it off with prayer, you can be part of transforming entire families and communities around the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Get Involved! Stop by our booth to pick up your OCC box and instructions. Then fill the box with toys, hygiene items and more for a child ages 2-14 years old. All boxes must be returned between Sunday, November 13th and Sunday, November 20.
