The year has been unprecedented. But it is time to begin thinking about the Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes for Christmas.

We know that shopping has been a problem for most. Therefore,  if you would prefer to make a monetary gift, the committee will do the shopping for you. Make checks out to the church and mark them Operation Christmas Child or "shoeboxes".
