It's Shoebox Time in Tennessee!!!! Operation Christmas Child, a yearly ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations worldwide through simple, gift-filled shoe boxes and evangelistic materials that tell the Good News of God’s greatest Gift. Samaritan’s Purse provides the Gospel in the appropriate language – we provide the shoeboxes!
Pack your own adult size boxes or like-sized plastic containers or use the free boxes provided by the church. Boxes, labels, and information brochures will be available on Sundays in the church foyer by the river windows. If you do not wish to shop, you may make a donation at the OCC table and someone will shop for you.
Another option is to build a box online at https://sampur.se/40dbGoL—it’s quick and easy! The cost is $25, which includes the donation that covers shipping and other expenses—and boxes built online through this special link will count toward Calvary's shoebox goal for this year!
Filled boxes should be returned to the church by Sunday morning, November 24. Last year about 470 boxes were collected at Calvary. Remember – it’s not just a box, it’s a Gospel opportunity. Make a prayer for the child the first thing you pack!
Note: A big “THANK YOU” to all who donated empty shoeboxes for OCC during this year, and especially to Coffin Shoe Company for donating many of our boxes.
