“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father…” James 1:17 Join us as we partner with our very own, Gina Pickett, for an Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Packing Party!!! Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritans Purse. This is a wonderful event where we will be packing shoeboxes together for needy children. A small gift can have an eternal impact on a child's life, their families and their communities. The COVID-19 global pandemic has disrupted everyday life for millions of people around the world. Yet, Samaritan’s Purse continues to share the eternal hope of the Gospel and to serve in Jesus’ Name. We want boys and girls around the world to know that God loves them and has not forgotten them during this time of fear, uncertainty, war and poverty. DATE: Sunday November 14th 2020 TIME: 5pm – 8pm WHAT TO BRING: Plan to bring $20-$25 to offset shipping costs and 2 - 3 dozen items. Our goal is to pack 500 boxes!!! LOCATION: Restoration Church (Gymnasium in the rear) – 410 Rucker Road Alpharetta, GA 30004 SIGN-UP LIST: Please visit the link below to sign up to bring items to this event! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E48AFA622A5FA7-echo1 DONATE FOR SUPPLIES: If you would like to help with some purchases that Gina is making, please send a venmo donation to @Gina-Pickett. She is a year round volunteer with a group of shoppers looking for clearance and great deals. DONATE FOR SHIPPING: Samaritans Purse strongly recommends a $9.00 per box donation. This donation covers processing centers, shipping overseas, and the gospel booklet that is provided to each child receiving a shoebox. We are suggesting a $25 donation per person; however, it is not mandatory. Some can and will give more!
