Operation Christmas Child
November 2010

During November 2010 LOGOS members collected items for “Operation Christmas Child” to share with children in traumatic and impoverished circumstances in countries around the world.  A large box was set up in the Rotunda so church members could donate items such as crayons, drawing paper, small toys, toothbrushes, toothpaste, t-shirts, and socks, as well as sturdy shoe boxes.

Operation Christmas Child is a program of Samaritan's Purse, a Christian relief and evangelism organization led by Franklin Graham.  The mission of this program is to is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Each LOGOS table group put together a Christmas gift in a shoe box to send, following the instructions on the Samaritan's Purse website and labeling each box to show if it was for a boy or a girl and the age category of 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14.  Our middle schoolers then took the filled Christmas boxes to the drop-off facility in West Chicago on November 17, 2010. 

Our thanks to Mary Kinsey for the photos!
