Operation Christmas Child
"Every shoebox offers an opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus christ
with a hurting child." (Franklin Graham, President-Samaritan's Purse)
Take advantage of those August Back-to-School Sales! It’s time to collect items to fill shoeboxes that will be sent to children in need around the world. A collection box is in the Narthex, or if you wish, you can fill a shoebox yourself and bring it to the church. BOXES WILL BE COLLECTED THE FIRST SUNDAY OF NOVEMBER. Gift suggestions are:
- Toys that children will immediately embrace such as dolls, toy trucks, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, balls
- School Supplies: pens, pencils and sharpeners, crayons or markers, writing pads or paper, coloring and picture books
- Hygiene Items: toothbrush, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth
- Accessories: t-shirts, socks, ball caps, sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry
Beyond these outreach opportunities are events such as our Chicken BBQ, Church Clean-up Days, Food Preparation night for the Community Lutheran Ministries Thanksgiving Dinner, Angel Tree, Food Bank collections, a St. Pauly clothing box, and many more.
