OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOX APPEAL<br />
Sunday <strong>October</strong> 29 th – Sunday November 12 th <strong>2017</strong><br />
Since 1990, more than 146 million children in over 150 countries<br />
have experienced God's love through the power of simple shoebox<br />
gifts from Operation Christmas Child. The mission of Operation<br />
Christmas Child is to show God’s love in a tangible way to needy<br />
children around the world, and together with the local church<br />
worldwide, to share the good news of Jesus Christ. A small<br />
shoebox can have a big impact, what goes into the box is fun, but<br />
what comes out of it is eternal.<br />
This year we are selling ‘Go Boxes’ for 40p each – flat, pre-printed boxes which don’t<br />
need wrapping – available from the Welcome desk. If you prefer, wrap an empty medium<br />
sized shoebox.<br />
Leaflets are available, with all you need to know, plus ideas for filling your box.<br />
Bring it back to church by Sunday 12 th November.<br />
For more information, speak to Debbie Astill, or contact the Church Office.
