OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: YEAR-ROUND COLLECTION
An Operation Christmas Little one shoebox reward is a chance for a kid to find, know, and share Jesus Christ. This yr our church packed 296 shoeboxes, and we noticed greater than 11,000 depart the Tallahassee/Large Bend space. As we plan for 2022, we can be including a brand new hands-on strategy to the ministry of OCC along with our different present choices for placing collectively a shoebox. We might like to see extra individuals concerned within the ministry, carry our church group collectively round this ministry, and most significantly, see the variety of gospel alternatives improve.
In 2022, we’ll begin year-round accumulating at FBCTLH for Operation Christmas Little one. Every month, objects may be introduced in and dropped into OCC bins within the Join Middle. We are going to talk what objects we’re accumulating every month within the Imaginative and prescient, on the church Website, and on our social media pages. This may be one thing we sit up for every month and work collectively on as a church physique. Perhaps we’ll even see some pleasant SMBS class competitions!
The objects every month can be ones that may simply be discovered or made, and typically much more inexpensive when bought, throughout that particular month. All objects can be safely saved and inventoried every month. Subsequent November, we’ll facilitate a churchwide packing occasion and behold the harvest. Our hope and prayer is that by focusing, planning, and making ready shoebox presents all yr lengthy, we’ll see much more gospel alternatives all over the world subsequent yr.
To offer you an early begin, our January objects can be hats, gloves, and scarves. This stuff may be handmade or retailer purchased.
In case you have any questions on a month’s objects or what this ministry entails, please contact Kelly Harrington within the Senior Pastor’s workplace at kelly@fbctlh.org or Kristin Shultz at kandgshultz@yahoo.com. Let’s proceed to hope that God would lead us to achieve all types of individuals everywhere in the world with the gospel in 2022!
