OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD When you pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child, you may be surprised how much you can fit it. But that s nothing compared with what God can bring out of your box. Souls will be saved, churches started, and the Gospel preached all over the world. This project is an opportunity to tell the children and their families about God s greatest gift, His Son, Jesus Christ. In just the last five years, over a million boys and girls have prayed to accept Jesus as their Savior because of this ministry. It s not too late to fill a box or do another. Boxes are available with all the information you need on a table in the courtyard and on a table in the hall of the children s department. Please have all filled boxes under the table any time by November 15th. Christmas Child Coordinator Kim Sterner HAVE EXTRA SHOE BOXES? Emily Thoman and Lebanon Valley College are also helping with Operation Christmas Child with a goal of 1000 boxes this year. If you have any extra shoeboxes that you are not going to use for your OCC box, please drop off in the Courtyard. Thank you :) ANNUAL CHURCH CONFERENCE Sunday, Nov. 22nd 7p.m. All church members are invited to attend and vote. 12
