Christmas Shoeboxes Are Back for Christmas!
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to show God’s love in a tangible way to needy children around the world through the gift of a shoebox. Local churches take the boxes to unreached areas, orphanages, and other places of need, and give them to the children as examples of God’s love for them and the good news of the Gospel. It's estimated that for every 6 boxes packed, 1 child gives their life to Christ, and the result ripples through their families and communities. Last year Canada packed 25,000 boxes more than the previous year - it would be great to repeat it this year! Shoeboxes will be available this Sunday and for the next few weeks.
Pick up your Shoe Boxes at The Rock Church every Sunday or throughout the week when The Ledge is open and let’s provide even more than we did last year. You can also Pack on Box online here!
The FINAL collection day for filled shoeboxes is Sunday, November 17th. Please drop off to The Ledge during cafe hours (Tuesday - Saturday from 8am - 2pm) or at Sunday Gathering.
