This year we are making the opportunity available for members and friends of Resurrection to participate in the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox collection.
Shoeboxes will be available at church starting October 8th for each person or family to take home and fill on your own. Shoeboxes are available for anyone to take one, or more than one.
To participate:
1. Select a gender and age group you want to donate to by checking the corresponding box on the label enclosed in each Shoebox.
2. For each box, select a quality “WOW” toy such as a doll, soccer ball with pump, or stuffed animal. Then, fill the rest of the box with other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies (see the Shoebox Gift Suggestions available online and included in print form in each Shoebox).
3. The last Sunday to bring your box to church will be November 19th.
4. Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift.
Resurrection will cover the $9 per box donation requested by Samaritan’s Purse to cover shipping and other project costs. (You may contribute to this cost voluntarily if you would like.)
