I love Operation Christmas Child. I am super excited to partner with our families and friends to allow our kids to learn about giving gifts and God to other kids!!
As a group, my goal is to put together three shoe boxes to donate to Operation Christmas Child.
For the next three weeks we'll be collecting supplies and then during Date Night we will all be putting together the boxes and working with the kids to pray over the boxes.
Please bring all your donations by anytime!! We are looking forward to partnering, not with our daycare families but our friends as well!!
