Operation Shoebox Kickoff!

Remember the fun of getting new school supplies? The new pencils, paper and other supplies for that first day of the new school year? What an adventure.  Think of compounding that feeling 10 times over? What about 100 times over?  What about an adventure that changes not just a year but a lifetime?

Operation Chirstmas Child and the box or boxes that you pack have the potential to do just that, the potential to change a life forever.

Our individual shoeboxes aren't an act of compassion, a charity, each individual shoebox represents the opportunity to introduce a child (along with their family and wider community) to the living Gospel, to open the lives of the children who receive these gift boxes to the salvation of Jesus Christ.

While the official kick-off event is SUNDAY, SEPT. 27th,  boxes are ready now for those who would like to get a 'head-start' on creating a wonderful gift for a child somewhere in the world!  Just stop by the Sunday School/Nursery rooms for the boxes.

Interested in helping but not the 'shopping' and packing part?  Consider creating a box on-line, it's super easy and convenient.  Check out the Aug. 22 Liberty Lantern for information on how to reach the Liberty UMC On-Line Goal Page or ask Linda H. or Rachael S. for an assist.
