First Baptist Church, Washington, Georgia will have an "Operation Christmas Child Shoebox" dedication service on November 20, 2005.  Members are asked to prepare a shoe box for boys or girls with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and a few "fun" things (candy, sunglasses, gum, etc).  Each shoe box will be wrapped and clearly marked for a boy or a girl.

These boxes will be prayed over by the congregation and then sent  to the Samaritan's Purse International Headquarters for distribution to children around the world.

If your church is interested,  we would like to encourage you to take part in this outreach ministry, please contact the Samaritan's Purse by clicking on the above link, or by calling 1-800-353-5949.  Participants may also send their box to:
