Our children will be participating in Operation Christmas Child this year. Last year over 7.4 million hurting children experienced the joy of Christmas as Samaritan’s Purse distributed gift-filled shoe boxes in some 95 countries throughout the world. As wonderful as these expressions of kindness were, Operation Christmas Child is ultimately about sharing with children a true and lasting message – the message of God’s greatest gift to mankind through His Son, Jesus Christ. Many thousands of children and family members committed their hearts to Christ as a result of these unique expressions of our love.

How can my child participate?

1. Please be sure to pick up your gift box guide at church.
2. Find a shoebox.
3. Take your child shopping and have them select a few of the items listed in the guide.
4. Fill the shoebox with your child’s gifts. Optional: In a separate envelope you may enclose a note and photo of your family. (If you include your name and address, the child may write back.)
5. Enclose a check for $5.00 payable to Samaritan’s Purse.
6. Bring your gift-filled shoebox to church on November 13th or 20th.
   (Note: Packages received after the 20th will not meet the shipping deadline.)
   

This is an outstanding way to teach your child the meaning of giving and sharing God’s love with others as we begin our Christmas Celebrations.
Note: Although this is a “child activity”… we are all God’s children! If you do not have a child in Powerhouse Ministries but would like to participate, just stop by a class, pick up a guide and join us! We want to see how many shoeboxes we can stack on our tables!!!
