Operation Christmas Child
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate Jesus' love in a tangible way to children across the globe, by filling shoeboxes with toys, personal care items, school supplies, and fun gifts. Through this ministry, Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches to share these shoeboxes, and even more importantly, share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations!
From this Sunday onwards, you can collect boxes at the admin desk to fill with gifts for a child that won't be expecting to receive any presents this year. You can also decorate your own medium to large sized shoeboxes with wrapping paper instead!
More information about what to pack in the shoebox and how to label it correctly can be found here!
You can also pack a shoebox online or pay for a pre-packed shoebox instead, if you'd really like to be involved but are unable to get to the shops yourself.
The final date to drop off your boxes at church is Sunday 8th November. We will then take them to a place where they are dispatched all over the world to bring joy and light to children in need this year.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive" - Acts 20:35
