Holiday Outreach 2025

The Mission & Outreach Committee is once again joyfully preparing for our annual Thanksgiving and Christmas outreach efforts.

As part of our tradition, we are partnering with Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child, sending shoeboxes filled with gifts and love to children around the world.

If you’d like to get a head start, you can build a shoebox online by following this link:

👉 Build Your Shoebox Online! - Operation Christmas Child

The website provides an easy, step-by-step guide to walk you through the process.

This Christmas, we are excited to participate once again in Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse. This wonderful mission provides shoeboxes filled with small gifts to children around the world — reaching them with the love of God and the Good News of Jesus Christ. Each shoebox is an opportunity to bless a child in need and share hope during the holiday season.

How It Works:

  • Boxes will be available in the Narthex starting Sunday, November 2nd.

  • Inside each box, you will find:

    • A brochure with suggested gift ideas (categorized by gender and age).

    • A label to attach to your box after it’s packed.

  • Return filled boxes by Sunday, November 16th.

  • Feel free to take more than one box if you are able!

If you’re unable to attend Sunday services but would still like to participate, please call the church office at 540-786-3100 to arrange a pickup time.
