Operation Christmas Child
Are you planning on filling a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child? You can pick one up at the back of the church or in Donaldson Hall today! Return the filled box to church on November 10 or November 17.
Things to remember:
Completely fill your shoebox. You can find little toys and accessories in the dollar store. Make it fun!
You could add a personal note and a picture of yourself.
Do NOT put money in your shoebox, BUT...
You are encouraged to donate $10 which is used for training local churches, providing The Greatest Gift Gospel booklets, shipping, etc. You can do this online and track where your shoebox goes. Or you can write a check to Samaritan's Purse, put it in the envelope attached to the How to Pack a Shoebox pamphlet, and mail it. Pick one up along with a preprinted Christmas Child shoebox at the back of the church and in Donaldson Hall (or use any regular sized shoebox). When filling a box, you'll want to provide toys, personal care items and school supplies. Decide whether it will be for a boy or girl, and age 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. Age specific suggestions can be found at
