It’s Shoebox time again! Pre-printed shoeboxes including information leaflets with packing suggestions will be available throughout October – from the church vestibule or the Rosetta Hall during tea/coffee.

Gifts through Operation Christmas Child bring immense joy, excitement and hope to millions of children in need worldwide. They are a tangible expression of God’s love and may be the only gift a child receives.   When packing your shoebox, aim to make it fun and full — brimming with durable, high-quality items and no empty spaces.  Remember to personalize it and include a photo or note of encouragement.  Pray over the shoebox as you prepare it.  Please DO NOT put in sweets, soap, toothpaste, liquids or lotions.

You can also choose to pack a shoebox online — a quick and easy way to donate. This option allows you to track where your shoebox using the barcode included with your gift.  Visit the Samaritan’s Purse website at Shoebox Online | Samaritans Purse or scan the QR code.  To help monitor the boxes please let me know if you pack one Online.
