Operation Christmas Child at New Life!

Dear Parents,

This November, we want to help your family express a heart of thankfulness by sharing what God has given to you with children in crisis areas around the world. We will be partnering with Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child to send shoebox gifts to children in poverty stricken and crisis areas around the world.

Please support New Life Kids’ efforts to send 200 shoebox gifts by Sunday, November 23, 2014. You can start today by collecting shoeboxes or purchasing plastic shoeboxes. You can send a box as a family or have each child pack their own box (which kids will love). Either way, we hope you get started today!

This month (October 2014) we will provide a special Parent Cue with instructions for an individual family box-packing activity. We will also send you packing labels to use. If you’d like to check out videos and get your instructions today, visit www.theparentcue.org/occ.

Here’s what we will be handing out this month:

·      Operation Christmas Child Parent Cue: “7 Steps to a Thankful Heart”

·      Packing Instructions & Box Labels

·      “Let’s Be Friends” Child Information & Coloring Sheets

We will be collecting completed shoeboxes starting November 2nd through November 23rd at New Life.

In addition, we will be gathering together on Sunday, November 23 after the 12:30pm service in our Elementary environment to celebrate and to pray for the children who will receive our shoeboxes. Hope you can join us then as well!

TIP: Here’s a cool tip… You’ll be able to “follow your box” to see where your box goes. More information about this on the packing Instructions sheet coming soon!

In His Service,
