Send Good News and Great Joy this Holiday Season

The Crossing Church is honored to serve as an official drop-off location for Essex County!

Pack a Box: You can pick up an official Operation Christmas Child shoebox at our building, or pack your own box with children’s gifts and essentials, and drop it off at the church no later than November 23rd.

Want to participate with others? Gather with a group ( Life Group, family, team, co-workers, etc) and build your boxes together.

Build a box online and Samaritan’s Purse will assemble the shoebox for you.

Want to Volunteer? We are forming a team of volunteers who will get to experience the joy of Operation Christmas Child. There are many opportunities from greeters to prayer partners, shoebox collections, providing meals or snacks, loading trucks, and more!
