Got a shoe box? Can you afford to purchase any small toys, school supplies, candy, sunglasses, or other “stuff” that a child could use?\u00a0 Then you can make a huge difference in someone’s Christmas this year!!!<\/p>\n

In support of “Operation Christmas Child”\u00a0 we are collecting items that can be packed in a shoebox and given to desperately needy children.\u00a0 The program covers more than 100 countries, and is administered by the Samaritan’s Purse organization (led by Franklin Graham).<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can help:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make a dollar donation of any amount (check made out to PUMC)<\/li>\n
  2. Donate exactly $21.00.\u00a0 This will pay for the contents and postage of one box.<\/li>\n
  3. Purchase some gifts and may your own box.\u00a0 Fill a shoebox and donate $7.00 for postage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Suggested Gifts:\u00a0 <\/strong>
    \nToys, School Supplies, Hygene items, “Stocking Stuffers.”\u00a0 Use your imagination!<\/p>\n

    Do NOT include items such as:<\/strong>
    \nAnything used, glue sticks, scissors, war-related toys, perishable food items, liquids, medicines, anything breakable.<\/p>\n

    See the October issue of Steeple Notes for more information.<\/p>\n
