It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away! This Thanksgiving, there are a couple of ways your family can reach out and serve others.
Operation Christmas Child
Fill a shoebox with little goodies and send it to a child somewhere in the world. This is a great opportunity to teach your children about how much we have and that there are people all around the world who wake up every morning wondering if they will get to eat at all. A new feature Operation Christmas Child has added this year is that you can “follow your box” as it travels to its destination. This is a great opportunity to pray with your child(ren) for the box and the child who will receive it. For instructions on this go to https://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/EZ_Give_Donations/. The final drop off date at the church is THIS Sunday, Nov. 14. Please bring your filled shoebox to the Summit. For any questions, please contact Kim Brown at mkjecbrown@verizon.net or Jeff Hunt at jeff@coppellbible.org.
Thanksgiving BasketsYour family can also reach out to the local DFW community by serving with Operation Relief Center’s Thanksgiving Basket Drive. Those of you who picked up baskets should return the filled baskets by Wednesday, November 18th. There is also an incredible opportunity for your family to distribute the baskets in South Dallas on Saturday, November 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information and to sign up to help, visit the Spoken For website at http://www.spokenfor.org/. This is an awesome, teachable moment and an opportunity to share the gospel as you distribute baskets. Can you imagine the impact on your child if they were to see you sharing the gospel?
Do not miss out on these amazing opportunities for your family to reach out to the poor in our community and around the world. Take full advantage of this teachable moment.
Thanks for the information Jeff! We signed up to take Emma to hand out baskets.
