Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes
|
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. These simple gifts are shipped outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.
If you take home a shoebox they are due back at the church no later than this Sunday, November 14. If you have any questions contact Kerry Turk at ketintel@cs.com or (618) 580-7775. Thank you to everybody who is participating this year. |
