We are pleased to share that we have begun our efforts to build and gather boxes for Operation Christmas Child again this year. The goal of the Operation Christmas Child ministry by Samaritan’s Purse is to engage with families around the globe through these gifts and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In addition to serving as an Operation Christmas Child community-wide drop site, we have over 400 boxes that we are hoping Immanuel will fill collectively. One key aspect of our Rooted Family Ministry is encouraging families to serve together, and we believe that O.C.C. provides an exceptional opportunity for families to do so.
Here are ways you can help:
Take an empty box to fill!
The Samaritan’s Purse website provides wonderful suggestions for how to fill a box. samaritanspurse.org
Donate funds toward our Immanuel O.C.C. Packing Party Item List.
Join us for our O.C.C. Packing Party! On Sunday, November 16th, everyone is invited to join us during our evening programming (5:30 - 7:00 pm) to help us create 400 boxes, ready to be sent off to children across the globe.
If you have free time during the day and would like to help welcome community-wide box drop-offs, please sign up here.
Note: If you worship with us on Sundays, you can bring your box to us on any Sunday between now and November 25th! Individuals from outside of Immanuel will need to bring their boxes within the following schedule:
