This effort, in concert with the Graham’s Ministry known as Samaritan’s Purse, provides Christmas gifts, joy and hope to needy children overseas in the form of shoeboxes containing useful gifts. Each month there will be several items listed in the bulletin which members can purchase for the Operation Christmas Child boxes. These are suggestions only. You may purchase them or purchase other items of your choice and turn them into the church office for later packaging and forwarding. August items include: toothbrush/toothpaste, comb/brush/mirror set, soap/wash cloths, stickers, picture books.
