Spread the joy of Christmas to children all over the world! We are joining forces with Downers Grove Christian School to pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.

 

Take a shoebox or use one from home, pack, and bring back by to FBC/DGCS by Nov. 20. DGCS will deliver all shoeboxes to a local drop-off site.
