Oct '25
The semester is coming to a close and our college students could use some encouragement. For the first two Sundays in November (11/2 and 11/9), we will be collecting items to fill care packages for our nine NEPC college students. Please drop off non-perishable items on the table in the narthex and we will pack them up and ship them. Ideas:
-
- microwave popcorn
- Little Debbies or other wrapped snack cakes
- candy
- individual bags of chips
- Ramen noodles
- granola bars
- school supplies – pens, pencils, spiral notebooks, etc.
If you’d rather not bring items, we’d also welcome cash donations to cover the cost of shipping (roughly $10 per box for the four out of area students). We’ll also have cards available for you to sign. Let’s remember to lift up our students in prayer and continue to encourage them as they advance their education.

2025 Operation Christmas Child Care Packages
28
Oct '25
Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a global program facilitated through hundreds of thousands of trained volunteers. Local believers in more than 100 countries deliver Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts, present the Gospel, and facilitate the follow-up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey.
Shoebox gifts are given to children regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or faith. OCC seeks to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way through each shoebox gift. Children do not have to do or say anything to receive the gifts. They work in and through local Christians in each country who understand the context in their area. Simple gifts—packed with love in Jesus’ Name—deliver hope and joy to children all around the world, regardless of their faith or religious background. They aim to give each child one shoebox gift in the course of his or her lifetime.
This year our church will again be collecting shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. There are three ways you can help.
- Sign out a box from the table and fill it with gifts.
- Bring gifts to church, and we will pack a shoebox for you.
- Give a monetary donation to help with the cost of sending the boxes or to buy more gifts. It costs $10 per box this year.
Boxes are due the week of November 17-24. We will be collecting our boxes on Sunday, November 23. What a joy to celebrate Christmas by giving gifts that can change the lives of children throughout the world.
