Operation Christmas Child

WPRZ IS YOUR LOCAL RELAY COLLECTION CENTER FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD!!!

    Collection Week 2011 is November 14 - 21. 

For the past 16 years, WPRZ has participated in this incredible project of Samaritan’s Purse under the direction of Franklin Graham.  What a joy it is to know that a simple shoe box filled with small gifts can bring so much joy and hope to kids in desperate situations all over the world.  Last year Samaritan’s Purse collected 8 million shoe boxes and sent them to over 100 countries.  They include the plan of salvation in each shoe box in each child’s native language.  Because of this, the child’s family...and even entire communities come to know the true meaning of Christmas.  You can find out more about this project by going to www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.

We hope you will participate and share this project with your church, co-workers, and neighbors!  Our complete schedule for collecting gift-filled shoe boxes is as follows:

Monday, November 14th           9:00 am – 5:00 pm

Tuesday, November 15th          9:00 am – 5:00 pm
