Operation Christmas Child

We’re excited to share that First UMC will once again participate in Operation Christmas Child this year as we partner with Samaritan’s Purse to bless children around the world with the love of Christ.

Shoeboxes will be available soon, along with easy-to-follow packing instructions and tips to help you fill your box with meaningful, child‑friendly items. Please keep an eye out for more details in the coming weeks. Information will include distribution dates, collection information, and ways your family can get involved. Let’s work together to show children that they are loved and remembered while bringing hope and joy to them this Christmas season.
