A Shoebox Can Carry More Than You Think
It’s amazing how something so small can hold so much love. Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes travel across oceans, borders, and languages — but what’s inside matters just as much as the care, prayers, and hope behind it.
On November 9, we’ll gather the boxes our church family has been preparing and send them off toward children who may never have received a gift before. These simple packages carry toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, but they also open doors for local churches around the world to share the message of Jesus.
Every box you return represents a story that’s still being written — one that God can use in ways we may never see this side of eternity. Whether you’re bringing one box or many, your gift is part of something much bigger than any of us could do alone.
Bring your completed box to Christ’s Church of Amherst on or before November 9, and let’s send them out with prayer and joy.

This fall, our women’s group is diving into The Shepherd in Me—a journey of learning what it means to be shepherded by God and how his care can overflow through us to others. We’ll share stories, encouragement, and…
