There are many people in our community who need our help - need Jesus. Let's love them in the name of Jesus.
A life of purpose includes reaching out to help others. We are the hands and feet of Jesus.
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God's love. This program of Samaritan's Purse provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas — Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. Along with shoe box gifts, millions of children are given Gospel booklets in their own language. In 2011, Operation Christmas Child collected 8,643,354 shoe box gifts worldwide and distributed them to children in some 130 countries. Since 1993, more than 94 million boys and girls have experienced God's love through these simple gifts. See the full report here.
During our collection times we package the boxes churches, school groups, and individuals have dropped off into the larger shipping cartons. If you can help call the church at (781) 878-2447 or come by and sign up. High schoolers please note that this is a qualified community service project.
