We are excited to announce that Operation Christmas Child begins at Elberta Church on Sunday, October 26th! This incredible ministry through Samaritan’s Purse gives us the chance to send the love of Jesus around the world—one shoebox at a time.

Starting on October 26th, you can pick up your shoeboxes in the courtyard after services. Each box can be filled with simple but meaningful gifts—things like toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and notes of encouragement. Every shoebox is a tangible way to show a child that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten. More importantly, each box opens the door for children and families to hear the life-changing message of the gospel.

We encourage you to get your family, friends, and even neighbors involved in this opportunity to make a global impact. Let’s come together as a church to pack as many boxes as possible this year!

📦 Shoeboxes available: Sunday, October 26th
📦 Shoeboxes due back: Sunday, November 16th

Let’s prayerfully pack each box with love and trust that God will use them to change lives all over the world.
