Operation Christmas Child is back….The Samaritan’s Purse project, Operation Christmas Child, collects shoebox gifts and delivers them to children in need around the world.  OCC also provides an opportunity to share about Jesus Christ and God’s love.

The shoebox gift is an expression of God’s love for a child.  Please pray over its contents.  It could be the only gift that the child receives, so plan to pack quality items that will last and make it fun!

Flyers describing suggested contents as well as a sample box will be available at the kiosk in the café area of CUMC beginning October 7th.  Please do not include candy, toothpaste, war-related items, liquids of any kind, medications, aerosol cans, breakable items, or food.

A $10 per box donation is critical to cover shipping and other project costs and may be sent online or in the envelope provided.

Collection days at CUMC will be November 6 and 13th.
