It’s that time of year again! We have the opportunity to bless children with tangible gifts and an opportunity to hear the gospel! We have been partnering with Samaritan’s Purse for many years and look forward to serving in this fun way again this year.
Please visit this link to learn more about Operation Christmas Child.
If you choose to pack a box they will be due on Nov 12th and 19th next to the Missions Table in the sanctuary.
Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items become a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child.
This year there are two ways to pack boxes. Bring a physical box and sponsor a box. Information on both is below!
~ Option 1! ~
Grab a shoebox and label at the table in the foyer to indicate whether it was packed for a boy or girl and which age category.
We’re asking for the boxes to be turned in next to the Missions Table on November 12th and 19th.
please reach out to Aimee Verrone if you have any questions. (photo for reference from last year)
Here’s a link of suggested gifts (and what not to pack) (https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/what-goes-in-my-shoebox-suggestions/)
**They also ask for a $10 donation per box to help cover the costs of customs and delivery and other related fees. Follow this link to make the payment. (https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/ways-to-give/)
~ Option 2! ~
When you Build a Shoebox Online, it provides believers in remote regions a creative way to share the Good
News in a culturally sensitive manner. Online boxes are carefully prepared, abiding by strict customs regulations to safeguard partners who will deliver the gifts and the boys and girls who receive them.
