What is Operation Christmas Child?

Good news! (And great joy!)  It’s Operation Christmas Child time! Join us in equipping our congregation to make an impact on the lives of children around the world! During Operation Christmas Child, people fill up shoe boxes with small gifts and essential items for underserved children across the globe.
Once at at their final destinations, pastors around the world host events that include outreach to local children. Other churches use the boxes as resources for outreach in orphanages and other at-risk areas. In many places, they also offer The Greatest Gift, a Gospel story booklet developed for shoebox recipients.

You can pick up your empty box at Calvary on Sunday, October 29 - November 12
