Operation Christmas Child Fellowship Dinner

UMW & Operation Christmas Child Fellowship Dinner

Join us for a family friendly dinner on Friday, Nov. 18, at 6 pm. We will be hearing from Dale Goodrich, a pilot with Samaritan’s Purse who delivers shoe boxes internationally.

We will also be packing shoe boxes into shipping cartons – it’s fun and easy to learn. Please bring a tape gun, if you have one.

Help us receive packed shoe boxes from the community through November 21st.

Operation Christmas Child

04 Nov

Help Pender share the love of Christ throughout the world by participating in Operation Christmas Child this year!

Collect items to pack shoe boxes (small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, t-shirts, socks, accessories, & $7 for shipping) and place in the Christmas box near the coat racks by Nov. 15th.

Pack a shoe box or two with your family or small group. (Instructions are located in the church lobby.) Filled boxes are due to Pender on Nov. 22nd.

Pray that God will direct each person packing shoe boxes to put in just the right items for the child who will receive the box. Pray also that the children will receive Christ as their best gift.

Donations for shipping are needed as each box costs $7 to ship. Checks should be made out to Pender UMC, with OCC in the memo. Donations may also be made online by clicking on this link.

Help receive packed shoe boxes from the community between Nov.16th-23rd by volunteering for one or more slots. Training will be provided. Positions include greeting visitors and unloading and packing up shoe boxes. Sign up to help by clicking on this link.

Pender will once again be collecting filled shoe boxes, as well as items for shoe boxes, donations for shipping, and collected boxes from the community. Now is a great time to start collecting items for shoe boxes. Look for sales on school supplies, toiletry items, small toys and candy.

Look for a display and more information later this month.
