COMMUNITY News:

Collections for Samaritan’s Purse starts today at New Beginnings Fellowship at 112 East Road.

Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

There are four steps to packing a shoebox:

Start with a shoebox … Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox.
Pick and age and gender and label your shoebox … Use the label to indicate on your shoebox whether it was packed for a boy or girl and which age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–‍14.
Fill your shoebox with gifts … Select a medium to large “wow” item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items. Don’t forget to also include a personal note and photo—sometimes these are the child’s favorite things to receive!
Pray for the recipient of the shoebox … Most importantly, “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17) for the child who will receive your shoebox gift.

Shoebox collection will be at New Beginnings Fellowship at 112 East Road.
