First Shoeboxes Arrive

This morning I was at the local primary school talking about Operation Christmas Child's Shoebox Appeal. Each class is hoping to do at least one box for a boy and one box for a girl. Next week I have a couple more assemblies, one primary and one in the local secondary school for year 7 and 8 pupils.

Then early afternoon we took arrival of our first batch of boxes for processing. I reckon there are about 400 boxes, and another 400 are scheduled to arrive tomorrow evening.

After church on Sunday morning we will transform the church into something more resembling a warehouse and as long as we have boxes people will be in processing them throughout the next three weeks.
