Arrow Kids will participate in Samaritan's Purse-Operation Christmas Child service project. We are asking families to start collecting items (see suggestions below). You can bring in the items throughout the month. We are also asking families to donate $7 to help cover the cost of shipping the boxes. Please bring the gift items and boxes to Judson by Sunday, October 31, 2010.
During Wednesday Night Alive on November 3, 2010, we will assemble the individual boxes. The boxes will then be delivered to Calvary Church and then shipped to needy children throughout the world.
