Operation Christmas Boxes:
There is a sample of a Christmas box and contents that can be bought from me for $20. Box contains hat, drink bottle, large notebook, tog bag, teddy, stress ball, Christmas card, pencil case with x12 coloured pencils, x6 pens, x3 pencils, x2 small notebooks, rulers, scissors, rubber, cellotape, pencil sharpener, highlighter.
Buy the $20 box and a few special items. Or take an empty box and fill it yourself.
There will be a big box in the foyer for people to donate items that I can use to complete boxes with. Several ways for people to be involved in this valuable project. I have heard that one in five kids who receive a box choose to know more about Jesus.
