OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's love for the child. Our goal for Abiding Presence is 250 shoeboxes. This ministry is a multi-generational family affair. Please feel free to include your friends and neighbors. A flyer is attached below with gift suggestions and instructions on how to pack your shoebox.
Monetary donations are greatly appreciated. The suggested contribution to cover shipping and processing of each shoebox is $10. If you can help defray the cost, please write your check payable to Abiding Presence with “Operation Christmas Child” in the memo line.
For questions about this ministry please contact Nicole Redden nreddendm@verizon.net or Lisa McCaffrey lmccaffrey@hotmail.com.
Completed shoeboxes can be returned to the narthex (church lobby) before Sunday, November 17th.
Ways you can give here.
