Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful way to share God's love with a needy child in a third world country. Many, if not all, of the children have never heard the good news of Jesus Christ and the hope that can be found in a relationship with him. Through this mission Clovis Hills has the opportunity to serve as a growth group community which will impact children overseas. Now, if your growth group has chosen Operation Christmas Child then the next step is to...- Begin by picking up a shoebox (or use any standard size shoebox) and an Operation Christmas Child brochure from the SERVE table located in the courtyard during weekend
services or go to Samaritan's Purse for details. - The brochure will give you the information you need to prepare a shoebox.
- Filled shoe boxes need to be returned to the Clovis Hills Community Church SERVE table no later than Sunday, November 11. If you miss this deadline then between Nov. 11 - 18, please take the shoe boxes directly to Baseball Greats Sports Cards, 442 Pollasky Ave. in downtown Clovis: Mon. - Sat. 10 am - 6 pm and Sun. 12 pm to 5 pm.
Then expect God to do miracles in the lives of your growth group as you "go global"!
Feeding Fresno is another way for growth groups to serve in our local community. F
eeding Fresno reaches out to churches, families, and organizations in a concerted effort to put food on the tables of economically disadvantaged individuals.

Hi Terry, I need to email you with a "mission" that I've learned about that is kind of related to this one. It's called Angel Food Ministries, and for $25 a family gets a very large box of food, that normally would cost a significant amount of money. I can't do it on my own, and anyway, I'll email you about it. Blessings to you.
