Prepare a gift for a child.....
Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project, brings joy and hope to needy children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the good news of God’s love! Since 1993, more than 100 million shoe box gifts have been delivered to children in more than 130 countries and All Saints’ Church has sent thousands of them!
Shoeboxes are available in the Atrium or the church office, with instructions for packing. Pick up your box on Sunday or Mondays-Thursdays before 4:00 p.m. We are blessed to have the All Saints’ Church Youth, MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), and AHG (American Heritage Girls) contributing to this outreach event as well!
All Saints’ OCC Collection Date is Sunday, November 14th or Monday-Thursday by 4:00 p.m. to the church office. Let's come together to gift a child not only with quality items that they may not normally have access to, but also with the gospel message of Jesus Christ!

What's going on at Cloverdale Park on Thursday mornings? Story Time Park Day!
Each week, the children’s ministry of All Saints’ Church hosts a Story Time morning at the park where anyone is welcome. We have met some of our new attending Sunday morning, MOPS, and VBS families at the park! We are also providing early learning and reading skills, a nutritious snack, conversation, and community with the heart of Jesus.... in the midst of Dale City. This ministry also occasionally provides rides for our Dale City mothers and children who do not have a car, as well as giving away Jesus Storybook Bibles to those that share they do not have a Bible. New mothers are given baby blankets from our Needlework Ministry.
Story Time Park Day invites the church to come out to Cloverdale Park on Thursdays at 10am! There are so many ways All Saints’ Church members can help support and be a part of this important community ministry. Talk with new friends from the Dale City Community, read a story or pass out/provide snacks to the children, intercede in prayer for young families in the heart of Dale City. Like to read classic children's stories? Or, if you are interested in donating brand new Jesus Storybook Bibles, snacks/mini juice boxes, rides, or taking a turn to read to children, contact Tara.
