Hey everyone! We had kind of a small group in class today so I wanted to recap the discussion we had on Operation Christmas Child. We are going to set a goal of 20 boxes for the class. This is based off the number of class couples on our roster (not including several guest couples we've had). If every family could do at least one box, we will reach our goal but let's try to blow that out of the water! Please click on the link on the main page of the blog for more information about OCC. Our boxes will go to Mexico so we don't need to include any cold weather items. Also, the age group that they need the most of is the 10-14 year olds so keep this in mind when deciding what to do. This is a great opportunity to get your kids involved if they are old enough to understand.
So on to the next point. Brenda is going to get our boxes to the processing center the week of Nov 15-22. We discussed having a packing party to pack the boxes and pray over them before we send them off. After looking at our upcoming calendar, Brenda and I decided that Sat Nov 13th would be the best day for this. Time and location will be determined later but please put this on your family's calendar!
And lastly, if you work for a company that would be willing to match what we do or even donate, don't hesitate to get them involved! Thanks!
