Operation Christmas Child - Pizza Packing Party 2025

The Operation Christmas Child Pizza Packing Party was a joyful time. Many families, kids, and young people came to the church to pack shoeboxes with essentials such as hygiene products, toys and notes of encouragement for the children who will receive them. The event took place on November 16. Doors opened at 4 PM. During the first half, volunteers watched a video highlighting the mission and global impact of Operation Christmas Child. In the second half, everyone went down to the basement for the shoebox packing.

Two long rows of tables were set up—one for boys and one for girls—with items arranged by age group. Participants formed an assembly line and filled their boxes thoughtfully. They also had the option to take a picture of themselves and include it inside their box so the child would know who sent it.

To close the evening, everyone enjoyed pizza and warm fellowship. We thank God for the compassionate hearts that came together to share His love with children across the world this holiday season.
