Operation Christmas Child

The kids packed their boxes for Operation Christmas Child tonight. They gladly wrote a few things about themselves, were they live, what they like, how old they are, and drew some self-portraits. They filled the boxes with all kinds of goodies, like soap, toothbrushes, socks, school supplies, toys and other small items that are needed and enjoyed.

We printed out a tracking label so we can follow the boxes to their final destination. The kids included their address and are now wondering if they will get a letter back. This is such a fun mission! Katharine participated last year through a friend, this year the children's ministry at church decided to participate. The goal is to fill 300 boxes!
