November 9 – Photo of the Day = Gratitude

I am grateful for Operation Christmas Child (OCC). I am also grateful that I have money to help OCC reach out to needy children.  I do this by filling a box with age appropriate gifts and dropping the filled box off at a collection center. My church is a collection center.

These gifts provide an opportunity for OCC to add Christian literature into the boxes. This literature “shows children how to come into relationship with God, to explore His Word, and it encourages children to grow in their faith.”

Most of us cannot change their home life, stop the horrors they witness, provide ongoing food and/or clean water or give them an education. But most of us can fill one shoebox.

Would you please consider letting a needy child know of your concern by filling a box? I turned mine in today!

HEY, CNC PEOPLE – Thursday, November 19th by 4 pm is when the filled shoebox is due back at the church.
