The Christ Church United Methodist Womens group is once
again taking part in  Billy Graham's mission project -
Operation Christmas Child.  Each year Operation Christmas
Child delivers millions of gift-shoe boxes to hurting children
around the world. This project is personal - a shoe box gift
can be as unique as the person packing it.  It's simple way
to share the love of God to children in dire need.

If you wish to take part in this Christmas Mission, simply
get an old shoe box or a plastic box approximately the same
size. Determine if you gift will be for a girl or boy. Select an
age catagory [2-4, 5-9, or 10-14]. Use the appropriate boy/girl
label from the brochure you receive at church. Mark the correct
age category and tape the label to the top of your box (Do not
seal the box). Bring it to and a $7.00 shipping and handling
donation to church by November 4th.

Gift Ideas: Toys (with batteries if needed), School Supplies,
Hygiene Items, Hard candy, T-shirts, socks, ball caps,  or
anytyhing else you think a child might like.  In a separate
envelope you might like to include a note to the child and a
photo of yourself or your family.  If you include your name
and address, the child might write back to you.  

Do Not Include:  Used or Damaged items; War related items;
chocolate or food; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins;
breakable items or aerosol cans.  Avoid items that may break
in shipment. If you cannot bring your shoe box to Church, you
can send it to;  Samaritan's Purse/Operation Christmas Child,
801 Bamboo Road, Boone, NC  28607 (be sure to include your
$7.00 donation)
