Welcome
Church should be a place where the vision is cast, where the Bible is proclaimed, where the lost are found, where seekers become servants, where community is formed, where the lonely find companionship, where the poor find compassion, where hope is discovered, where people are changed by God's power and where God is glorified in all of life. We want to be that place. You can help us and we can help you. We are simply jars of clay into which God pours His treasure. Search these pages for information on Montgomery Evangelical Free Church. But more than that, search for the unsearchable riches of knowing Jesus Christ.
We would love to have you visit us on Sunday Morning. Check out this week's schedule.
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child—A Simple Gift, A Simple Message
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations worldwide through simple, gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love.
Please read the following story, by Franklin Graham, of how one young girl’s life, and eternity were changed forever because she received a shoe box from Operation Christmas Child:
One child whose heart was touched was Cecilia, a 13-year-old Mexican girl
suffering from a malignant tumor behind her eye. She heard the Gospel, during the gift distribution, and immediately accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. Two days later, her sickness put Cecilia in the hospital. She asked her parents to bring her the doll and teddy bear from her shoe box, so ‘I can take them to heaven with me.’ Cecilia said she had lived the most wonderful day of her life on the day she got the box and found Jesus. Cecilia is in heaven now, but through her witness, her parents and grandparents have become believers.
MEFC is collecting shoe boxes to spread the joy of Christmas and the power of the Gospel during the week of November 16-22.
How to pack your shoe box.
1. Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please). Wrapped shoe boxes are available along with an instructional brochure at the Montgomery Evangelical Free Church.
2. Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14.
3. Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child.
4. Please donate $7.00 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping . Make checks payable to Samaritan's Purse with a note on the memo line that the donation as for Operation Christmas Child.
5. Place a rubber band around each closed shoe box and drop off at MEFC during the drop off dates and times listed below.
