Hello Church FRamily!
Operation Christmas Child is in full swing at CrossTrain. Our goal this year is 300 boxes. The only way we can get there is with YOUR help. Please spread the word at your workplace, school, and to your family and friends.
If you'd like supplies to help you spread the word (boxes, brochures, information pages, etc.) please stop by the OCC table on any Sunday and I'll be sure to get you what you need.
As a reminder, DO NOT INCLUDE: Candy; toothpaste; gum; used or damaged items; scary or war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; seeds; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.
Bring your fully packed box back to church any time between now and Sunday, November 12. Don't forget to pay for the shipping online and track your box! If you do not have time to shop for a box, but would still like to participate, you can build a box online. Please let me know if you built an online box so I can count it as part of our goal!
Most importantly, please PRAY for your shoebox recipient(s)!!!
