Operation Christmas Child Update


All 150 Operation Christmas Child cardboard boxes have been taken thanks to your enthusiasm for this wonderful ministry.  Brochures are available on the ministry table should you still want to pack a box.  You can either wrap a tennis shoe box with Christmas wrapping paper or buy a plastic tote the size of a shoebox.  You can even pack a shoebox online at the Samaritan’s Purse website!  
 
Shoeboxes are due back on Sunday, November 13.  Please bring them to the 10am worship service.  They may be returned as early as Sunday, November 6.  Due to storage issues, we ask that you please hold onto your box until the 6th.  
 
Please remember that there is a $10 shipping fee per box.  Checks may be mailed to Samaritan’s Purse using the envelope in the brochure or you may pay online.  Also, you can register your box online so that you will eventually be notified of the country to which your box was sent!  See your brochure for details.
 
 
Thanks for participating in this exciting global ministry!  Please pray for the children receiving the boxes - that they will be open to the gospel message shared with them through the Greatest Journey discipleship program and that their families will come to know Jesus too!  Have fun packing your shoebox!  
 
Questions, please contact Libby Puckette at 843-559-0977 or elpuck@comcast.net.
