You can spread “Joy to the World” by packing a gift-filled shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. This program provides an opportunity to be involved in a simple, hands-on mission project that reaches out to suffering children while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas – Jesus Christ. And it’s a great family activity, too! Operation Christmas Child Collection week is November 13-20. Calvary is the drop-off location for southeast South Dakota. Shoeboxes filled with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, etc. may be dropped off during the following hours: Monday, November 13 10:00am- Noon Tuesday, November 14 10:00am- Noon Wednesday, November 15 5:00pm-7:00pm Thursday, November 16 10:00am- Noon Friday, November 17 10:00am- Noon Saturday, November 18 10:00am- Noon Sunday, November 19 11:30am-1:30pm Monday, November 20 9:00am-11:00am If you’d like to pack a box, shoeboxes are available in the church lobby – or you can pack a box online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ if you prefer.
