Collection For Operation Christmas Child Has Started! The Board of Social Ministries is sponsoring Operation Christmas Child for the 2025 holiday season. Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here is what you do: (1) Find a Shoebox - You can use any empty shoebox or shoebox-sized plastic container. (2) Girl or Boy? - Decide whether you will pack for a girl or a boy and the age category: Age groups are 2 - 4, 5 - 9, 10 – 14. (3) Fill with Gifts. You may also want to include a personal note and photo. (4) Pray - Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gifts. (5) Follow your box - remember to include $10 (per box) for shipping. (6) Drop-Off - Bring your shoebox gift to Gloria Dei no later than Sunday, November 16.

We strive to be the local church in the Northeast Minneapolis community to help people come to know Jesus, grow in their faith and go into the world equipped to serve.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. — Philippians 4:6
