Operation Christmas Child -2020
We are once again filling the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoeboxes. The GO (Gospel Opportunity) boxes have been purchased for people to fill so they are more of a uniform size. If you have never done this before, get a box in the church office (or use your own) and fill it with things that kids from regions of the world would enjoy. Select a medium to large "wow" item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift. Return your box to the church office by TBA. Through the gifts and prayers of many people like you, God has enabled us to reach children in over 150 countries around the world. Even greater is to be able to share with them the hope of eternal life in Christ.
Someone from the mission committee will bring them to the designated drop-off spot. Sunday & Wednesday School will be helping us with this project, but we also encourage the rest of the congregation to participate. Thank you for helping us be Jesus to lots of children this Christmas!
Don’t like shopping, hassle of parking and fighting crowds in the store? You can still pack a box! Go to
www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ and start building a shoebox. You can challenge
friends/family online as well as send gift cards to friends/family to fill a box that you have purchased for them.
For a gift suggestion list and what not to include in the shoebox, go to samaritanspurse.org/occ.
