Samaritan's Purse Sunday, October 27th |
It is the time of year to pack shoeboxes again. This ministry is a small way to show God’s love to children (and their parents and caregivers) in need. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Please bring your box(es) to church by Sunday, October 27. We will be putting the boxes on the altar at both services on October 27. Note: We have pre-printed boxes again this year. This year’s version is slightly larger than last years. We have some of both sizes. Please take what you need.
Thank you so much for your willingness to show God’s love to children around the world in this special way. Please take a moment to review the notes below. If you have any questions, please contact Pam Connelly at 636-9245 or pamconnelly@comcast.net.

- Operation Christmas Child asks that $9/ per box be donated (if you are able) to cover the cost of shipping, etc. If you are able to make this donation, please include a check in the box (in the envelope included with the brochure) made payable to Samaritan’s Purse (not Ebenezer). Please write a check, do not include cash. There is also an online option for donating. If you use this option, please use the label that you will be provided.
- If you are unable to shop for or fill a shoebox, you may want to consider making a $9 donation for the shipping costs. We occasionally receive boxes without the $9 donation.
- If you wrap the box, please wrap it so that the lid can be removed.
- Please place a rubber band around the box.
- Remember that these boxes will be shipped around the world. Please do NOT include any of the following items because they cannot be shipped (and will be removed):
- Used or damaged items War-related items
- Liquids or lotions (including bubbles) Breakable items
- No Candy No toothpaste (due to customs regulations)
- NEW last year: NO FOOD OF ANY KIND

Health & Wellness Committee Presents
November 23rd 10:00am -11:00am |
Our goal is to help young people realize the dangers of alcohol and drugs so that they and their families never have to experience the pain, tragedy and loneliness that accompany addiction.
We are not a support group, but we end up supporting those in recovery, those who have a loved one in recovery or those who have lost a loved one to the disease.
Luncheon immediately following
Our Speaker:
Don Keister, Founding Member
He holds a master’s degree in education and is currently headmaster at Caravel Academy. He supports the general overall work of the organization’s objectives and speak in local schools.
Don Keister: atTAcK addiction provides the platform to help others. Every time I can help a person seeking information, or in recovery, I feel like I am helping my son Tyler. I would like to see this organization develop the ability to sustain its work and make headway in reducing the number of deaths caused by this disease. Specifically, my current project is the development of a recovery high school in Delaware.
