Operation Christmas Child November 14-20
Trinity will again be participating in Operation Christmas Child. This program uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world.
Please drop off your boxes at the church overflow during National Collection Week - November 14-20.
The boxes will be taken to a drop off site on Monday morning, November 21st. Please use a special Operation Christmas Child Box or a regular or plastic shoebox to pack your gifts and include a $10 donation to cover shipping expenses. There are boxes and labels in the office entryway and on the display table in the rear of the Sanctuary. An information pamphlet containing instructions to pack a shoebox and boy/girl labels is also available on the display table. For more information about the program, ideas what to pack or not back in the shoe boxes, google Operation Christmas Child.
