Operation Christmas Child 2021

Once again Christ Chapel is participating in Samaritan’s Purse - Operation Christmas Child.

“We want boys and girls around the world to know that God loves them and has not forgotten them during this time of fear and uncertainty. Children need great joy now more than ever. Most of all, they need the hope found only in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Will you partner with us to share that glorious hope with boys and girls around the world—many of whom have never heard the Name of Jesus?” – Samaritan’s Purse website.

We kicked off this season on Sunday October 24th and handed out over 50 boxes to joy-filled volunteers. We will continue to hand out and collect shoeboxes in the Narthex every Sunday up until Sunday November 21nd (the last Sunday before Thanksgiving). Starting October 31st, we will also have labels and instructions on the table in the Narthex.

Please follow the instructions on the materials handed out and place your filled boxes under the table in the Narthex.

You can also visit https://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/ for more information on how to get involved. Note that this year there is also the option to fill and donate shoeboxes entirely on-line.

Thank you for giving Christ this Christmas! If you have questions, please contact Paul McGuinness at 860-205-4247.
