"Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way for Australians and New Zealanders to bless children in need around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and other fun gifts."
This year, Connect Church is once again taking part in Operation Christmas Child!
Below, you'll find all of the information you'll need to join us in blessing children this Christmas
If you want to know more about Operation Christmas Child (other than the blurb provided above), click here!
If you want to know about the organisation that created it, Samaritan's Purse, click here!
Samaritan's Purse have an entire page dedicated to helping you effectively pack your shoebox! Just click here.
They also have a page full of gift suggestions based on who you're packing your shoebox for! Click here for some ideas.
Once you've filled your shoebox, you have multiple ways you can get it to a child for Christmas!
You can either bring it to the church yourself and leave it in the white cupboard in the church courtyard (or simply bring it into the office if it's open)
OR
You can contact Chris and Doug Broady through their contact details in the most recent weekly newsletter, and they'll come and pick it up for you!
The lovely Alex Johns has volunteered to take the filled boxes to the collection centre! In order for all of our boxes to get delivered, they need to be back at the church by Monday 19th October at the latest.
