Operation
Christmas Child
Each November
children in Youth Club and Sunday School bring in gift-filled
shoe boxes as part of a ministry to underprivileged children.
This is an opportunity for our children (and their parents)
to share the joy of Christmas by giving to “the least
of these” (Matthew 25:34-40)—poor, needy children,
many of whom have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Through Samaritan’s Purse, the shoe boxes are filled
with Christian literature and children are invited to special
assemblies/gatherings to hear about Jesus and receive their
boxes.

Youth Club and Sunday School children will see the “Operation
Christmas Child” video and will receive brochures on
how to get involved, beginning in late October.
Millions of children live in extreme poverty—unable
to attend school, constantly exposed to hunger and disease,
and all too often neglected or abused.” While we can’t
change the world, we as a Children’s Sunday School can
make a difference—by reaching out to a few Compassion
children through our money, our prayers and our letters.
At PCNP, each children’s Sunday School Class (2nd-6th
Grades) has a Compassion child. A portion of the money collected
during Sunday Morning offering is used to help these children
with financial and educational needs. In addition, we encourage
teachers to get involved with their class Compassion child
by reading the letters these children write, and then by writing
back to these children, and praying for them during class
time.
What an awesome opportunity to reach out to those who
are in need!
