Our Cowboy Church is participating again in Operation Christmas Child sponsored by Samaritan's Purse--
Samaritan Purse has several ways you can participate with your family, church or just by yourself and friends. We have enjoyed gathering items for the shoebox. We choose boy or girl and this year
along with our blond headed daughter, we chose 3 boys and one girl--maybe, next week we'll
see if any are still available and shop again!
Here was our list of items to buy--we had fun roaming the aisle of our local Wal-Mart, Dollar Store and Grocery store to fill our bags. We'll return the bags to church and volunteers will place these items in shoe boxes to be sent off. We also donate funds to assist with shipping.
Bags are filled and ready!
Boys bags are filled with cars, puzzles, crayons, coloring book,
deck of cards, personal hygiene items, etc.
Girl's bag is filled with girlie things and a plush toy!
It is a yearly goal of our small cowboy church to fill at least 100 shoe boxes
but each year we do far more than our goal!
What joy it will bring a child! and this project filled our hearts too!
