It is that time of year again. Christmas shoe box gifts are a great way to cheer, to encourage, to help a needy child overseas. Bob Sumner will have boxes ready to fill in the church entrance this Sunday. If you can’t pick it up in person someone can deliver it to you and pick it up when it is filled. Filled boxes must be back to Bob Sumner by November 16th.
What not to include: Candy; toothpaste; used or damaged items; war-related items, i.e. toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.
