Now more than ever children need to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.  The Mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Packing a shoebox gift is a simple way we can be a part of sharing the love of Jesus with children in need.  Kick off Sunday is quickly arriving this October 4th.   We will be passing out free Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes at Calvary Salt Lake for individuals to pack and return during National Collection Week, November 16-23, 2020. We are looking for volunteers for this time, email occgreatersaltlake@gmail.com if you are interested. 
 
We know many of you are not attending services in person at this time due to COVID-19 and packing a shoebox online is a great alternative.  Others, either do not have the time to pack a shoebox or shopping in big box stores is just not your thing.  The Build a Box Online is a great option and in just a few easy clicks and you have built a shoebox for a girl or boy.  The cost is $25 per box and that includes the $9 shipping – a total bargain.
 
We have created a Build a Box Online Goal Page for Calvary Salt Lake!  Our shoebox goal for boxes built online is 1500 and you could be a part of reaching 1500 children simply by following the link below and creating a personalized shoebox.

 PLEASE PRAY FOR:

•   For God’s provision and help for our Operation Christmas Child volunteers and ministry partners

•   For the global church to shine bright in the darkness serving God and bringing the good news of the gospel

•   For God to bring peace and salvation to those suffering with COVID-19 in isolation

•   That God would grow our faith as we trust HIM over our circumstances

This is the time for the church to be in prayer.  Please let us know if you have prayer requests that our team can  lift to Jesus.

Este mes, en lugar de recibir las Noticias de la Red de Oración, te pedimos que ores por el trabajo de Samaritan's Purse durante la pandemia de COVID-19, por el staff, voluntarios y compañeros de ministerio de Operation Christmas Child. Te animamos a visitar nuestro sitio web, para encontrar los videos y la información más actualizada.

POR FAVOR ORA POR:

• Por la provisión y ayuda de parte de Dios para nuestros voluntarios y compañeros de ministerio de Operation Christmas Child.
•  Para que la iglesia global brille en la oscuridad sirviendo a Dios y llevando las buenas nuevas del evangelio
•  Que Dios traiga paz y salvación a aquellos que sufren con COVID-19 de manera aislada.
•  Que Dios haga crecer nuestra fe mientras confiamos en ÉL por encima de nuestras circunstancias.
