Operation Christmas Child

Its so hard to believe, but its already time for Operation Christmas Child this year!

We are having a box packing party THIS Sunday, October 28, after ABF, with everyone grabbing lunch on their own and meeting at the Hippie House to pack boxes. If you need the address, please contact me or be at ABF this Sunday to find out :)

A group of us are also going shopping on Saturday, October 27, to get items to fill the boxes, so if you want to join us, let me know!

I know this is a little last minute, so if you are unable to get your money to me or Lauren Moore before we go shopping on Saturday, don't worry! You can definitely still participate by getting your own items for a box and bringing it with you to the packing party (make sure not to buy any toy guns/knives, chocolate, liquids, breakable items or aerosol cans).
Our ABF has decided to focus on the older children, ages 10-14. Please also remember that they ask for $7 to be donated with your box in order to cover shipping costs.

This is a great way to show a child the love of Christ in a very tangible way. We hope to see you all there this Sunday!

If you have any further questions, please write a comment on this blog or e-mail me.
