Operation Christmas Child

Pack and fill a shoebox with gifts which will be given to children around the world.  Each shoebox is a gospel opportunity for the child as they are invited to begin a 12 week discipleship program called The Great Journey after receiving their box.  

Boxes will be available for pick after weekend services on October 26/27, November 2/3, and November 9/10 or at the church office after October 28.

Collection weekend will be November 16/17. 

Ideas for boxes:  Musical instruments, outfit, toys, shoes, school supplies, non-liquid hygiene items (toothbrushes, bar soap, combs, washcloths, etc.), accessories, crafts, a personal note.  Don't forget to pray for the child who's receiving your shoebox.
Do not include: Candy, toothpaste, used or damaged items, war-related items or weapons, liquids or lotions, medications or vitamins, breakable items, aerosol cans.

For other suggestions on what to pack in your shoebox here's a complete list.
