Operation Christmas Child

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, ...for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."  Matthew 19:14

The College and Career Sunday School Class is conducting a service project that will last until the end of October.  We will be collecting supplies to fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan's Purse.  Here is a list of the items that we will be collecting:

• May/June: Hygiene Items (toothbrush, toothpaste, combs, washcloths, bar soap)
• July: School Supplies (pencils and sharpeners, pens, paper, solar calculators, crayons, markers, coloring books)
• August: Toys (small toys that do not require batteries, Happy Meal toys, small balls and stuffed animals)
• September: child size socks, shirts
• October: candy (gum, suckers, hard candy)

We will also be taking monetary donations as each box costs $7 to ship.  Boxes will be set up in the foyer each month to collect the items for this mission effort.  For questions, see Clift Ward or Kayla Curry.
