In November, Balmoral Presbyterian Church actively participated in the Operation Christmas Child ministry, spreading joy and hope to children around the world. Church members came together to pack shoeboxes with gifts, including toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, which will be sent to children in need across various countries. The congregation's heartfelt donations and dedication helped make this annual outreach a success, reflecting the church’s commitment to sharing the love of Christ through tangible acts of kindness. Through Operation Christmas Child, Balmoral Presbyterian Church continues to make a lasting impact on the lives of children, offering them not just material gifts, but a reminder that they are loved and remembered.
During worship on Sunday, November 17, the congregation prayed over the boxes and those children who will experience the love of God when they open them.
