This year our goal is to pack 225 boxes for Operation Christmas Child. On the third Sunday of each month, those who have purchased items will be collected then stored at the church. Also on the third Sunday we'll have the children take up a collection of loose change and call it "Noisy Sunday." This will help defray the cost of shipping the shoe boxes. Let's all spend the year collecting goodies to help reach our goal. If anyone wants to pack their own boxes, that is still fine. We will plan to have our annual shoe box packing party sometime in November.
