OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – Every year we are blessed to be able to join with Samaritan’s Purse and fill “Shoe Boxes” with toys, school supplies, and personal care items for children in need around the world. These special boxes are joyfully received by boys and girls from 2-14 years of age. For some children this is the first gift they have ever received and others the only gift they will get. Whether sending or receiving, those touched by Operation Christmas Child testify to the power of a gift-filled shoebox given in Jesus’ name. Boxes are on the table in the narthex. There is also a brochure that explains exactly how to fill them. All boxes must be returned to LCOOS by the end of worship on Sunday November 22nd. No boxes can be accepted after that. If you have any questions, please speak with Heather Nault.
