Participate in Operation Christmas Child and Bless Children Around the World

UPDATE: Sunday, November 23 is the dedication of our Operation Christmas Child Boxes. Bring your boxes to the church office or to the 10:00 worship that Sunday. Help us get to our goal of 100 boxes this year!

It's time for the 2025 Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child campaign. This is a simple way you can bless children around the world in the name of Jesus.

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Samaritan's Purse ships these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.

Maderia-Silverwood participates in Operation Christmas Child through our Family Ministry program. Help us make this year our biggest yet and bless even more children!

We have wrapped shoeboxes available for pickup in the Sanctuary or from the church office. Drop by anytime and pick up a box for filling. Visit the Operation Christmas Child website to learn more about what kind of gifts to pack in your shoebox. Return the shoebox to Madeira-Silverwood no later than Sunday, November 23!
