Samaritan's Purse

Operation Christmas Child is a service project that the River of Life Children's Church kids are doing (and anyone else that wants to participate).
 
What you will do:  1)  Get a shoe box, 2) determine if you will have a box for a boy of a girl and what age group (2-4, 5-9 or 10-14), 3) Fill with gifts 4) It is optional if you would like to give $7 to help cover shipping costs, 5) Drop off at River by November 9th.  Place a rubber band around the shoe box to keep it closed.  6) Optional: you can enclose a note or photo for the child.
 
If you would like to support the project but don't want to fill a box please consider donating toward the shipping costs. 
 
Do not include:  Used/damaged items; war-related items; knives or military figures; chocolate or food; out-of-date candy; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snowglobes or glass containers; aerolsol cans.
 
There will be flyers with more info at the church. 
 
Also, there will be a pizza party for all the kids that participate on November 14.
