Awana invites the congregation to join them in filling shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. It’s a simple outreach opportunity to share the love of Christ with children all over the world! This can be a personal project, LIFE group outreach or family effort with each child in your family filling a shoebox. Complete instructions are at OCC, or the bulletin insert, or flyers in the foyer, or in the Awana box outside the church office. All boxes must be brought to church no later than Sunday, November 15 in the morning services or during Awana.
