Christmas Shoe Boxes – Nov 23rd

ERCC is participating in “Operation Christmas Child” which is sponsored by the international relief fund Samaritan’s Purse.   Delivery to the local drop off point is Nov 24th, so we need your shoe boxes, wrapped and filled with toys by Sunday, November 23rd.  If you have any questions, contact Wendy Gideon (email her HERE).  Merry Christmas!

How to Pack a Shoebox

  1. Shoebox

    Use an empty cardboard or plastic shoebox (average size). You can wrap the box, lid separately, but wrapping is not required.

  2. Boy or Girl

    Decide whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Download and print the appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category and tape the label to the top of your box.

  3. Fill With Gifts

    Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child (see Gift Suggestions).

  4. Include $7 Donation Per Box

    Help cover shipping and other costs related to delivering your shoeboxes to children overseas by donating $7 for each gift you prepare. You can give online to discover the destination of your box. Or, you can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on the memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the items inside your shoebox. If you are preparing multiple gifts, please make one combined donation. Note: “Follow Your Box” is only available through online giving.

  5. Pray

    Ask God to use your gifts to show His love to the child who will receive your shoebox.

  6. Drop Off

    Place a rubber band around each closed shoebox and bring it to ERCC.

Religious Origins of the Middle East Conflict – Dec 7th

Plan to attend a special event at ERCC on December 7th. We are having Bill Clark Sr. bring his presentation “The Religious Origins of the Middle East Conflict” to the ERCC Fellowship Hall at 6:00 p.m.

Bill has been hired by the Federal Government to explain the foundational issues at work in all the conflicts in the Middle East to soldiers who were departing for the Middle East. There is not another presentation like this one and you will really be glad you attended because it will help your understanding about why the Middle East is in such turmoil and how it affects us.

Invite everyone you know to attend this hour and a half session.
