- October Ministry Spotlight – Youth Ministry

Operation Christmas Child is underway! What is Operation Christmas Child? People pack shoebox gifts to bless children in need around the world. After receiving a shoebox gift, children can enroll in a 12-lesson follow-up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey. As a result of what they learn, boys and girls grow in Christ and share Him with others! Please take a shoebox, label and instructions from the narthex or downstairs and return it to church no later than November 13th. These shoeboxes should be packed, wrapped and returned by November 13th. For more information about youth events or to get involved with the Youth Ministry Team please contact Stacey Staake.
