Christmas Giving Opportunities

Robin Honken · October 5, 2025 ·

Operation Christmas Child – There will be shoeboxes available throughout the church to take home and fill. You can also drop off items at the church that will be used to fill shoeboxes. Items needed would be those that children would love to play with and would fit in a shoebox, including yoyo’s, cars, travel games, jump ropes, dolls, etc. A packing party will be held in early November for those who would like to help.

Christmas in Fillmore County – RLC is sponsoring again this year. Tags are found on the tree in the Narthex. Unwrapped gifts are due back December 5th.
