[Gospelchristianity] Operation Christmas Child/Sabbath Feast

[Krystl Rose]

Hey everyone...
 
We decided on Friday that we would do the Sabbath Feast and the Operation Christmas Child boxes next Sunday at the MacLaughlins house.  We are going to just order pizza, so bring some cash to put in the pot for you family if you plan to come.  Also don't feel like you cannot come if you don't want to participate in the Operation Christmas Child project...we realize some families have other areas they give in or projects they participate in each year, so no pressure!!  
 
I have six boxes, so I was thinking we would aim for 3 boys boxes ages 5-9 and 3 boxes for girls age 2-4. So if you want to add your name below to either one, that way we have some for each age and we'll just fill up as many boxes as we can.  Also don't forget to bring a $7 check to put in the box for shipping and handling...
 
As of right now I have to work this weekend, so I am trying to figure out a way to change that, but Dan and the girls will for sure be there and have all the stuff to put the boxes together. Below is the sign up and a list of ideas of what to/what not to buy for the boxes...
 
Please add your name below under which one you would like to bring items for if you would like to participate:
 
Boys Ages 5-9:
 
 
Girls Ages 2-4:
The Roses
 
 
Gift Ideas:
