Beginning today, Operation Christmas Child GO (Global Opportunity). Boxes are ready for distribution to be filled with love and joy for children around the world. These boxes will give recipients the opportunity to learn about Jesus and His love for them.

Last year, some of our 130 boxes went to Tanzania. In the past, others have gone to the Dominican Republic. This year we have 150 plus boxes. The goal is to make them fun, filled and personal with a “WOW” gift, school supplies and toys. You can even add a personal note from you. There is a new regulation from Samaritan’s Purse this year, no soap is allowed in the boxes. Some countries are not taking boxes with soap because it can mold while in transport.

There are some free stuffies available on the table in the Narthex. and information on the table in the parlor. GO boxes are due back at church by November 9th . Thank you for reaching out to children everywhere in the holy and precious name of Jesus.
