Our church is participating again this year in Operation Christmas Child.  You can prepare your own box if you desire.  Brochures on packing shoeboxes are on the table in the church foyer. 

We are also collecting specific items for shoebox gifts.  They can be placed in a special box in the church foyer.  Our first collection for school supplies is from now until September 4. See the list below for ideas.  Collections will be placed in the shoeboxes at the packing party in November. The next collections will be in the coming weeks for personal items, and then for toys/wow items. This is an opportunity for you to pitch in if you want. Anyone can still pack their own boxes instead of or in addition to bringing items for the packing party.  

If you have any questions, contact OCC Coordinator Beth Bohman at beth_bohman@yahoo.com
