Millions of people take time to shop for and pack shoeboxes every fall. These simple gifts bring great joy as children and their families learn about the true meaning of Christmas—the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

However, Operation Christmas Child is not reserved just for Christmas; that is where you come in. FBC Allen wants to bring Christmas to July through Operation Christmas Child.

So what is your part in "Christmas in July?" We have made that answer very simple:

1. Take a Box Home to Fill

• For July, there will be a table in the rotunda where we will have information about Operation Christmas Child and shoeboxes for you to fill up.
• Each box is due back by July 28.
• Be sure to include $10 per box to help cover the cost of the shipping/distribution, or you can pay online and print out a "Follow Your Box" shipping label to put on top of the box.
• Can't make it on a Sunday in July? We will have info and boxes available in the Church office.

2. Build a Box Online

• BUILD A BOX

3. Purchase Items through the Amazon Wishlist
(for packing church-wide boxes, October 23 and 24. Items can be shipped directly to FBC Allen.)
