OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Hello Harvester!

Just a reminder that we'll have an interim inventory party on Saturday, May 3, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Mostly we'll be unpackaging a variety of items and combining what's already at church with what I need to bring in from home. If you can give us a few hours, we'll sure put them to good use!

Our hallway table has been moved to the west hallway, to the left as you walk towards the sanctuary, or the right as you leave the sanctuary. This means our donation tub and spare change bottles will be there too, but the bulletin board will stay in the main hallway. Please don't pass us by!

In addition to our QR code on our main board, you can still reach our Amazon Wish List via this link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2MJIXAPCEKFDL/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2

NO MORE SOAP :( We received official word this month that soap will no longer be allowed in shoeboxes. This is due to ever-changing regulations in many countries that boxes are sent to annually. To the anonymous generous member of our congregation who donated about a dozen bars earlier this year, I'll be sharing those with Christian Social Services if that's OK with you. If not, please let me know what you'd like me to do with them.

April's collection items are stuffed animals! Not to take away from the true meaning of the Easter season, but it's a great time to get good deals on stuffed animals after Easter Sunday. Please keep an eye out for those that might fit nicely in our shoeboxes, thanks!

In the meantime, please keep working on those Spare Change bottles. We had another couple come in this past Sunday with more than $40 inside! We'll continue to collect these throughout the year as every penny helps send one more box to a child to learn about Jesus!

Thanks again for your support of this mission!
