It’s time for Operation Christmas Child, when we pack shoeboxes to deliver to children around the world. Select a medium to large "wow" item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items. Don't forget to also include a personal note and photo—sometimes these are the child's favorite things to receive! Reminder: no soap, toothpaste, liquids, or foods. A donation of $10 per box is critical to cover evangelism materials & shipping. You can give online or by mailing a check in the postage-paid envelope. If you use an online option, you can follow your box and discover the destination of your gift. Please do not put checks in the shoeboxes themselves. Our committee will be packing additional shoeboxes to send. f you do not want to pack a shoebox, but would like to help out, a donation box is on the table. Please have your shoebox at church by Sunday, Nov. 22. If you have any questions, contact Kim, Rowanna, Stacie, or Teri.
An Opportunity to Serve!
If you love Jesus and have a heart for nurturing the faith of our children, we have an opportunity for you!
First, we celebrate the growing number of children in our Pella family! What a blessing! Beginning in January 2027, we will be offering two sections of Children's Church on Sunday mornings.
Second, we are looking for additional volunteers to serve one Sunday morning each month as either a preschool or elementary leader.
Would you prayerfully consider being part of this ministry? What a wonderful opportunity to share God's love, nurture young faith, and make a lasting difference in the lives of our children!
Care and Compassion will be meeting Wednesday, November 11th, 7pm at Pella
