We need the help of everyone in the Lubbock Adventist Church. Please help our Lubbock Junior Academy students learn that, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Our students love to pack Christmas shoeboxes for needy children across the globe. The charitable organization behind this extraordinary project is called Operation Christmas Child (OCC). This program is carried out through Samaritan’s Purse. Directed by Franklin Graham, the son of televangelist Billy Graham, Samaritan’s Purse is an international relief organization that supports more than 100 countries worldwide.
The week of November 14-19 is national collection week. We are asking you to donate & bring to church by next Sabbath, November 19, any of the following:

There is an example of a Christmas shoebox for a boy and for a girl in the foyer. The age levels for the shoeboxes are 2-4 years, 5-9 years, and 10-14 years.
Donations may be given by dropping them into the bushel basket in the foyer.
