Operation Christmas Child
Throughout the month of October we will be collecting items to fill our shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Our outreach leaders had an opportunity to attend a workshop and came back encouraged and full of ideas! The first and most important, is that we need to pray, pray, pray! Pray for the children that will receive the boxes. Pray as you are choosing the items to fill them with. God knows who is getting your box, and what they need. Additionally, It was stated that the group that receives the lowest number of boxes is the oldest age range, so as a church that is what we want to focus on. Suggested items for collection:
-
Deflated soccer balls with pump
-
Hand crank flashlights
-
Tool Sets
-
Plain Canvas bags
-
Flip Flops (Many children have no shoes)
-
Hygiene Items (Bulk deals on Amazon)
-
toothbrushes
-
hairbrushes/ combs
-
washcloths
-
No Soap (New restriction)
-
-
School supplies
-
pens/ pencils
-
paper
-
rulers
-
sharpeners

Mats of Love
Mats of love are sleeping mats: large enough to sleep on, soft, and water resistant. They are made from those plastic bags we all have stashed at home. It takes 700 bags to make one mat. Bags are cut and rolled into balls, “Plarn” and crocheted into mats.
We need you to bring in your plastic bags: the ones from the grocery store, no torn ones.
Please place in the collection box in the foyer.
We are also looking for people that know how to crochet. If that's you, please email info@visitdvcc.org.
Blessing Bags Distribution - November 8th
Sunday, November 8th, will be the next Blessing Bag Outreach to the homeless in Philadelphia. Mark your calendars and plan to join the group as we distribute needed items and show the love of Christ. We are praying for as many as possible to join us so we can reach as many as possible! If you are interested in joining the group as they hand out the blessing bags, you can sign up here.
