HOW TO PACK A SHOE BOX

1. SHOE BOX

Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required. Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift.

2. BOY OR GIRL?

Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label by downloading the artwork to the right. Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.

3. FILL WITH GIFTS

Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child.  Use the gift ideas provided on the bottom of this page.

4. INCLUDE YOUR DONATION

Please donate $7 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs. You can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box. If you or your family are preparing more than one shoe box, please make one combined donation.

5. DROP OFF

Bring you prepared shoe box to church and place it under the Christmas tree with the other donated shoe boxes by November 15.

(P.S. All snacks must be in disposable containers. The event is at a hotel, so there won’t be any way for Steve to keep up with ‘real’ dishes.)

Since the 1950′s, WBS has been sending Bible correspondence courses free-of-charge to students around the world. They now serve over 2 million students from 141 nations.

The WBS Bible courses were first written by Christians for Christians who served in the armed forces overseas. These men and women, separated by war and distance from other believers, had difficulty finding opportunities to gather for fellowship, Bible study, prayer and encouragement. To their delight, the Christian service men found their fellow soldiers had a great interest and hunger for learning from the Word of God and they began sharing the materials with thousands who were not yet Christians.

WBS continues to send Bible study correspondence courses to eager students through the postal mail, by email, and on the world wide web. Of course, they are all STILL – free of charge. We encourage you to discover how people’s deepest needs are being met and their lives are being changed by learning more about God and His will through World Bible School.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped with this summers VBS. Take a look at what a great time everyone had.

We’re having a church yard sale Saturday, June 13, from 7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. The money made from this sale will be divided between Missions and the auditorium Sound System fund.

Why the short notice?

It was decided to have a series of small yard sales at regular intervals rather than planning a huge, mega sale where we collect stuff for weeks in advance. That way, we can easily set up for the sale, and not have stuff cluttering up the building weeks before and after the sale. 

What items do we want?

In a word, ‘small.’ Household items, shoes, clothes, toys, etc. We can’t handle large furniture items, or appliances. Also, outdated computers are hard to sell. It’s better to take them to Goodwill or another electronic disposal site. 

How can you help? 

First, if you’ve done your spring cleaning and have goodies to donate, bring them to the building by Friday, June 12. Second, if you can help work at the yard sale, come on down.  Rodney said since Bruce and Beth just live practically around the corner, you can alternate between helping them load up the moving truck and working the yard sale (actually it’s more of an indoor swap meet.) Friday afternoon and early evening, we’ll probably sort through the stuff – but we’re not putting price tags on things, or over organizing.

If you have any questions, see Rodney McGee or Ron Bennett. (And, yes, Deiga will be in the office next week to accept your donations).
