Operation Christmas Child Under Way

SHERMAN — The Sherman Church will once again participate in Operation Christmas Child, an effort sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse that helps children in more than 130 countries.

Anyone wishing to participate should fill an empty shoe box with items for a boy or girl, including toys, school supplies, hygiene items, hard candy, sunglasses, and other items suitable for a specific age. A complete list of gift ideas and instructions is available at the church, 6 Church Road, or on the church’s website, www.shermanchurch.org.

A donation of $7 to cover shipping is also requested.

The boxes will be dedicated during the worship service on Sunday, October 28, but submissions will be accepted at the church office through October 30.

For further information, contact the church at 860-354-6114.
