Operation Christmas Child

Is it okay to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving? Debatable. Is it okay to start packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, to share the love of Jesus with kids around the world, before Thanksgiving? Absolutely!

During the month of November, Believers Fellowship is continuing to partner with Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child. Here are a few ways you can get involved:

1.) Pack a shoebox(es) as a family or small group, and pray together for the child receiving it. Then drop off at Believers Fellowship during National Collection Week hours, November 17th-24th.  

17-Nov 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
18-Nov 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
19-Nov 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
20-Nov 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
21-Nov 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
22-Nov 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
23-Nov 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
24-Nov 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

2.) Volunteer for a 2-hour shift during National Collection Week to help receive, organize, and load these shoebox gifts before they head out around the globe (National Collection Week sign-ups will be available in the foyer before/after both services, or contact Jonathan Dietzen

Thank you for sending the good news of Jesus far beyond our borders through the gift of an OCC Shoebox!
