OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Sunday, November 13, Sanctuary Foyer
Thanks to the power of a simple shoebox, millions of children will experience the love of God and hear the Gospel this year. You, your family, or your Life Group can be a part of reaching this year’s goal of 100 million children by packing a shoebox. In preparation for this year’s Operation Christmas Child ministry, you can stop by the table in the Next Steps Area or the Church Office to pick up a brochure and a flat shoebox. All prepared shoeboxes must be turned in at the display table in the Sanctuary Foyer on or before November 13.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to pick up a brochure on campus, you can print one at samaritanspurse.org.
Contact: Ben Hale at bhale@dawsonchurch.org
CHRISTMAS AT KIDS CONNECTION
Your family or Life Group can help make Christmas merry for families shopping at Kids Connection! Parents and caregivers are shopping now for gifts that will be under the tree at their homes. Would you consider purchasing new, unopened, and unwrapped toys for local children? Visit our Facebook or Instagram pages for great suggestions, or pick up a flyer at the Welcome Desks in the North Building or Arendall Building.
