Thank you Ridgeview Church for your generosity in donating shoe boxes filled with gifts for children that will go literally around the globe. It is a great way for you to be a bridge of God's love to kids who will experience the love of Christ in a practical way and they will have an opportunity to come to know Jesus as their Savior this Christmas. According to our records, we received 135 total shoe boxes! It has been a great lesson for all of us. Christmas isn't about getting, it's about giving! Special thanks go out to Liz Niles and Lainey Lee who made Operation Christmas Child at Ridgeview Church a success. I believe one day we will meet people in heaven who will thank us for the shoe box we sent to them and they were able to hear about the good news of Jesus Christ. That will be a wonderful day!
Collection date is Sunday, November 22. Ridgeview Church goal is 200 shoeboxes filled. For more information, please contact project coordinator Liz Niles (968-8929 or lizniles@bellsouth.net).
Thanks to all of you who packed a box or boxes for Samaritan's Purse "Operation Christmas Child." This ministry is led by Billy Graham's son Franklin. On Monday we delivered the boxes to a receiving center in Greer. They in turn took the tractor trailer load of boxes to Charlotte a distribution center. At the center they will pack a gospel book for all the kids so that our "good deeds can be the bridge upon which the good news can travel." This year approximately 7 million boxes will be going all over the world to places that need the good news of Jesus Christ.
“Operation Christmas Child” is a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse which takes the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to hurting children and their families all over the world. Along with the boxes, children are offered Gospel storybooks and invited to learn more about Jesus through a discipleship program. You are invited today to pick up a shoebox or two or three and fill them with small gifts and return them to Ridgeview by Sunday, November 23. Also, each box requires $7 for shipping. For more information, please contact Pastor Tommy. tommy@ridgeviewchurch.net
