Netcast and Operation Christmas Child

The Siems Community Group that meets in Salem will be overseeing Netcast's efforts in participating in Operation Christmas Child. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Here are some details: For more information, email brooke@netcastchurch.org

1. Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required.
2. Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift.
3. Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14.
4. Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child.
5. Use the gift ideas provided below.
6. Netcast will collect boxes and/or things to be put into boxes, Sunday November 4th, 2012.
7. If you don't want to do a full box, please consider bring supplies, this Sunday, for the Community Group to put together. (see list below)
8. Shoe box destination countries vary from year to year.
9. A donation of $7 or more helps cover project expenses like shipping the boxes. Also, you may write one check for them all and place it in any one of your boxes.
