Breakfast Served

Living in High Defini�on Guest Speaker: Bonita Cobb

Operation Christmas Child—Eternal Impact!! Several years ago, shoebox gifts were delivered to an orphanage in Central Asia. Zarina, a shy 9-year-old girl, received the last box that day. Having spent her entire life in the orphanage, the gift touched her heart and made her feel special. Through her gift she also learned of God’s love and received a greater gift…salvation and eternal life. Shortly after receiving the box, Zarina was adopted by a family in the USA. Now a high school junior who enjoys packing shoeboxes, it is her hope that other children throughout the world will be as impacted as she was by a simple shoebox gift. Have you packed your box yet? Boxes and information to help you are available in the Welcome Center. Include a note & picture—recipients love to receive pictures! Be sure to tape a boy or girl label on top of the box and include a shipping donation if you are able. Pray that your box will have an eternal impact on the recipient. Bring your box to church for Dedication Sunday, Nov. 3. Our church goal is 325 boxes!
