OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD NOVEMBER 8 @ GREAT EXPLORATIONS

BRING YOUR ITEMS AND FILL A SHOE BOX FOR A CHILD!



Join SPIN as we send shoeboxes to children around the world. Watch the video below for items that you can purchase to fill your box. This year bring your items to our church gathering at Great Explorations on November 8 and fill a shoebox for a child.






HOW TO PACK A SHOE BOX
1. SHOE BOX - Shoe boxes will be provided by the church


Pick up a brochure at the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings.
Begin praying for the child who will receive your gift.

2. BOY OR GIRL?
Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Attach appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.

3. FILL WITH GIFTS
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child. Use the gift ideas provided below.

4. INCLUDE YOUR DONATION
Please donate $7 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs. You can give online by using our EZGIVE option, or you can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box. If you or your family are preparing more than one shoe box, please make one combined donation.

5. BRING THE ITEMS YOU HAVE PURCHASED TO GREAT EXPLORATIONS
We will provide the shoe box and you may add your items and check for shipping at this time. What a great way to kick off the holiday season.

If you are unable to join us on November 8 please contact the church office to drop off your filled shoe box.


After we fill our boxes we will write notes to our Compassion Child. Then SPIN youth will head to Cold Stone Creamer for ice cream. Each student should bring about $5-$10 (depends on what you get) for ice cream. Looking forward to seeing you there.
