It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas! Not outside perhaps, but soon it will be true in the Grace narthex. The Hope Guild is once again coordinating the "Operation Christmas Child" project, asking you to help share the love and joy of the Christmas season to children in desperate situations through the world.
Please find and fill a shoebox with small toys, stuffed animals, school supplies (not scissors), hygiene items, hard candy, gum and other small gift items. It can be for either a boy or a girl in the age groups of 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. Do not include toy guns, knives or war-related items, chocolate or perishable items, liquids of any kind, used items or breakables.
After filling the box, please enclose $7 (cash or check) to help defray shipping costs. Checks should be made payable to Samaritan's Purse. Then wrap the box in Christmas paper (wrapping the lid separately), and secure the lid with a large rubber band. Labels indicating whether the box is for a boy or girl can be found at the display in the Grace narthex. Boxes are due back no later than Sunday, November 13.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, a Christian ministry led by Franklin Graham.
