Each year, people pack shoebox gifts to bless children in need around the world. Churches and groups collect these boxes the third week of November. Then, thousands of volunteers inspect and prepare the shoeboxes for international shipping.

This year we will have two ways to be involved in Operation Christmas Child. There are boxes for you and your family to take home and fill as usual. Or you may take part in the church project, Families on Mission.

Go to libertypark.org/occ to sign up to purchase items needed for our boxes, and get them to the church by October 29. Some items still needed include: sunglasses, sewing kits, tennis balls, baseballs, small stuffed animals, combs, toothbrushes, small toy cars or boats, and more! Be sure to check the online list.

Families on Mission Day: On November 14, bring your family and friends to the church to help fill up 200 boxes with gifts! If you have any questions, contact ben.stephenson@libertypark.org.

Join us on Tuesday, October 27 as we pray for the family, church, local, state, national leaders, and the upcoming election. The church will be open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, if you wish to come pray on campus. Prayer guides will be available.

For five years, Liberty Park has been partnering with Strong Tower church in Montgomery to provide Thanksgiving groceries for needy, unchurched families in the Washington Park community. Due to COVID concerns, our congregation will not be participating in the delivery of the groceries this year, but we can continue to support this eternally significant outreach effort with financial gifts and prayer.

Donations for the groceries will be accepted through Sunday, November 8. Make your donation to The Church at Liberty Park and designate the gift for F2F (Family 2 Family). If you give online, be sure to write F2F in the memo or notes section.
