OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Thursday, November 18, was St. Peter's Operation Christmas Child packing event! Operation Christmas Child is a ministry through Samaritan's Purse. The Samaritan's Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, along with small booklets of God's word, and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way. In the days leading up to the packing event, families sent in donations of needed items. During the day on November 18, students in K - 8 gathered in the gym to pack boxes. In addition, our preschool students packed boxes as well in their classrooms. At the end of the day, 280 boxes were packed and are ready to be shared with children worldwide.

Thank you to our fantastic students and teachers for packing the boxes and praying over them together. Thank you to the generous families for the many donations of items and monetary donations to cover the shipping costs of the boxes. Thank you to the parents who came and gave their time to help with the packing process. And thank you to St. Peter's wonderful PTL for organizing and running this event. What a blessing this event will be to so many!!!!
