It is time for Operation Christmas Child again.  We will be packing shoeboxes in our faith families.  on Tuesday, November 18.  This was mentioned in the information in the family envelope.  Please send in items for the boxes ASAP.  Remember no liquid items and no war type toys.  Many of the countries that receive these boxes may currently be involved in conflicts or war.  We do not want to send them war related toys.  Also, no chocolate.  Hard candy and gum are great!  Good items to send are toiletries including bar soap, gloves, small toys (to fit in a shoebox), school supplies such as crayons or small notepads, stickers, etc.
