Operation Christmas Child

     If you have children or grandchildren here at St. Thomas you might have already heard of Operation Christmas Child.  Our children are involved in this program during this season of giving.

     "Operation Christmas Child, an annual project of Samaritan's Purse, goes to great lengths to bring joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the globe.  This past year, caring people in North America, Europe, and Australia packed more the 6 million shoe boxes to help us share God's love and the Good News of Jesus Christ."

     I encourage all of you to "get involved" in this program.  For complete information go to: www.samaritanspurse.org, then click on Operation Christmas Child.  The deadline for our "offerings" will be November 16, 2003.  If you have any questions, please see, e-mail me or call me!
