Operation Christmas Child

Each year we fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. This is our BIGGEST service project each year!
Last year we filled and shipped 50 boxes! To know that 50 children around the world were blessed by your generosity is an incredible feeling.
Well, this year we have "upped-the-anty"...we are aiming to fill and ship 70 boxes!
Your Discussion Group Leaders have a list of the goodies your small group is providing for the boxes. Most of those are already turned in waiting for the 4&5 year olds to pack away into the boxes. What we need know is money to ship those boxes.
Samaritan's Purse asks $7 to ship each box. So you do the math...70 x $7 = $490!
OUCH! I have the utmost faith that God will provide!
I ask you to pray about what you can give...
We will be collecting money the next 2 meetings to ship those boxes.
If you write a check make it to Samaritan's Purse.

Thanks girls!
Let's make this Christmas something special for 70 kids!
