Well, our packing party was a lot of fun and was a success last Sunday night. But we still have a lot of boxes left over that need to be packed. We packed a little over 100 boxes and we have quite a bit of stuff left over but not enough to pack more boxes. So, we are going to try it again on the 15th of November. That gives us enough time to gather up a bunch more stuff from Amazon, Walmart, the dollar stores or wherever you like to shop. We have plenty of crayons and markers but we need things like small backpacks, soccer balls with pumps, stuffed animals, clothes and things like that. You can also go to Amazon or Walmart.com and type “Operation Christmas Child” into the search bar and it will give you lots of special options. I think we should be able to pack another 50-100 boxes but it will take quite a bit more stuff. Also, if you want to pay for the shipping ($10 a box) you can just put whatever amount you want in the offering plate or mail it in. Just make sure it is clearly marked for OCC shipping. Thanks for all you do to make this ministry a success! I love you all! — Todd
