Operation Christmas Child needs your help during National Collection Week, Monday, November 16 through Monday, November 23. This is the time where we collect packed shoebox gifts from individuals, families, churches, and community groups. We need people each of the 8 days of National Collection Week to greet, pray with people, unload shoeboxes from vehicles, pack the shoeboxes into the larger cartons, and to help load those cartons onto semi-trailers. We can find a specific job for you to fit your personality and skills. Please see Scott or Denise with any questions. If you can volunteer, please sign up on the sheet in the narthex at the high table. We will need the most help during the last 2 days, Sunday, November 22 and Monday, November 23. These are the times that our church will be open to the public for the collection of shoeboxes:

Monday, November 16  11am - 5pm
Tuesday, November 17  10am - noon
Wednesday, November 18  1pm - 4pm
Thursday, November 19  10am - noon
Friday, November 20  3pm - 6pm
Saturday, November 21  10am - 1pm
Sunday, November 22  1pm - 5pm
Monday, November 23  10am - 4pm

Note: We will especially need strong arms and backs to help move the cartons to the semi-trucks during the following times:


Friday, November 20  5pm - 6pm
Saturday, November 21  10am - 1pm
Sunday, November 22  1pm - 6pm

(probably at least until 7pm)

Please let Scott or Denise know if you are available to help at any of these times.
