Christmas Boxes for Appalachia
Wednesday, November 5, 2025
6PM, Fellowship Hall
Children, youth and adults are invited to prepare a Christmas box for those in disadvantaged communities of Appalachia and join Calvary for The Christmas Box Bash on Wednesday, November 5 from 6-7PM in Fellowship Hall. Calvary is partnering with the Christmas Boxes for Appalachia Program offered through Olive Branch Ministries by CBF Personnel Scarlette Jasper. Bring items to fill a box the evening of November 5 and share in a time of learning, prayer and refreshments while we finalize the boxes for delivery. (Calvary provides the boxes!) See below for a list of items or click HERE for a printable flyer. Please join us even if you don’t bring box items, there will still be plenty to do including organizing, filling and labeling the boxes, so please join us! Please contact Carrie Beth Tonks with questions. If you’d like to participate but cannot attend on November 5, please bring items for a box by the church office no later than Wednesday, November 5.
