The Birthday Love Shoebox is designed to provide birthday gifts to children, nursing home residents and the shut-in in need and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. This year we have partnered with Center for Hope Women's Shelter, Urban Action, Prison Ministry, Douglass Community, and Nursing Home residents. Please use the registration form below if you are interested in participating or see a representative in the atrium at the Connection Center on Sundays. 

Shoeboxes will be collected from May 5-June 9 until 2pm in the atrium. You may sign-up as a sponsor during the month of May. ALL Birthday Love Boxes are due June 9th.
