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, x 6 pens, x 3 pencils, x 2 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.
