We’re excited to continue collecting items for Operation Christmas Child! Throughout the year, we are gathering donations to help fill shoeboxes that share God’s love and the Good News of Jesus Christ with children around the world.

For July, we will continue collecting the toiletries we began gathering in June, along with school supplies while they are on sale.

We are collecting:

  • Washcloths
  • Toothbrushes
  • Hairbrushes
  • Combs
  • School supplies

When donating school supplies, please note that liquid glue is not permitted. Glue sticks are welcome. Soap and toothpaste are also no longer permitted in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and cannot be included with donations.

A collection bin is located in the church lobby for your donations.

Volunteers Needed August 8

Teresa is inviting anyone who would like to help prepare the donated items for packing to join her at her home on Saturday, August 8, anytime after 9:00 AM. Volunteers will help remove items from their packaging and get everything ready for the shoebox-packing process.

Thank you for partnering with us in this ministry and helping bring joy and the love of Christ to children around the world. Every donation—and every helping hand—makes a difference!

Help Us Reset the Sanctuary

Thank you to everyone who helped move chairs on Sunday to make space for the election polling location! Now it’s time to put them back.

 

We will be asking our food pantry volunteers to help reset the sanctuary tomorrow, Thursday, July 23, around 10:15–10:30 a.m. If you are available to lend a hand, we would greatly appreciate the extra help. Many hands make light work!
