Christmas All Spring, Summer and Fall:
Outreach Emphasis for 2021 for
Operation Christmas Child
1stChurch Outreach Committee is planning to promote Operation Christmas Child (OCC) for 2021 with a different twist this year. This program, operated through Samaritan’s Purse, states that each shoebox helps a local church around the world tell a child about Jesus, God’s Greatest Gift. Many of them will grow in their faith and learn how to tell friends and family about Him through the discipleship program called The Greatest Journey.
As in years past, anyone in the church family can purchase items and fill the OCC shoebox and also provide the money for delivery costs. Then at the appropriate time, bring the shoebox to the church. You can find the online instructions on our website or directly at the Samaritan’s Purse website. The information includes packing lists, ideas, print off labels and more. The church will have the pre-printed and ready to fold boxes available to use. But this year, the committee is encouraging the church family to make contributions marked for OCC over many months. The hope is that by making an emphasis from now until August, additional money can be accumulated in order to make even more boxes. After August, a task group will use the funds to buy items, build and then fill boxes and use the donated funds to cover the various handling fees.(For year 2021 the amount is $9) There will be more information about dates and deadlines, but you can begin making donations anytime! Thank you!

Attention Please:

Holston Conference issued a call for Cleaning Kits, Hygiene Kits and monetary donations to restock for supplies which had been depleted by recent disasters (hurricanes) |
If your church plans to assemble kits, they may be delivered to the Three Rivers District Ministry Center. It is always a good idea to call ahead of time to make certain someone is in the office to accept your delivery.
