What is Operation Christmas Child? 
An opportunity for you to make Christmas very special for children in need all around the world!  Just pack a shoebox with small gifts for a child. These boxes will then be sent to children across the globe who are living in poverty.

What should I put inside my shoebox?
Go to www.samaritanspurse.org to get ideas for packing a box, like choosing a gender and age range, packing much-needed hygiene products, and including toys that will brighten a child’s day! Click here for a video on how to pack a shoebox.

When will these be collected?
You can bring your shoebox to church on Sunday (Nov 20th).  Please drop them off at the information booth or give them to Corinne Norem.
