Operation Christmas Child

Merry Christmas!

During the month of November, the first and second grade Sunday school class works hard to make boxes for Samaritan’s Purse. At our church, we do Operation Christmas Child. For the Sunday school class, we have an annual packing party. This year we were able to collect many donations (pre-purchased shipping labels, small toys, candy, toiletries, and many other items). The children then packed and decorated the boxes. Each child also made a special Christmas card to go inside! For the 2009-2010 Sunday school year, our class was able to donate approximately 20 boxes! The children said that it was hard work but very rewarding. They were so excited to learn about the missionaries that will be taking these boxes to other boys and girls!
