Magi Project

The Magi Project is a coordinated effort of the churches of Christ to provide a Christmas gift box to children in an economically suppressed part of the world. Each family is encouraged to fill a shoebox with toys, candy, clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items so that a child can enjoy Christmas. In doing so, your family will be serving as an extension of Christ’s mercy and grace. Instructions on how to fill one of the Magi boxes are located at Information Central or via the link below. For over 20 years, this congregation has participated in the Magi Project. This year we will again be sending the Magi boxes to our sister congregations in Piedras Negras and Allende, Mexico.

Bring your filled boxes to the stage on Sunday, December 6. You can also bring them to the office the week of Nov. 30 – Dec. 4 (feel free to pull up and call 405.478.0166 if you’d like us to come help bring them inside).
