Operation Christmas Child Northern Illinois Regional Kick-off

Share in the Vision - Saturday, September 17,  9:30 - 11:00 a.m.


Join us for a unique opportunity to hear the 2011 Operation Christmas Child vision right here at South Park Church!

For the first time, SPC will host the Northern Illinois regional kick-off event on Saturday, September 17 from 9:30 until 11:00 a.m. in the Fireside Room. Regional volunteers, as well as local groups and churches will join together to hear this year’s mission, and be inspired by the amazing work the Lord is doing one shoebox at a time throughout the world.

A special treat will be an inspiring talk by a young man named Ted. Some may know Ted because he recently began attending SPC and joined the college group. Learn about his journey of faith from his life in Russian orphanages to today ... And the impact a single shoebox had on his life.

Questions? Email Diana.obrien@sbcglobal.net. No RSVP necessary to attend. Invite your family members (kids & teens too!!),  friends,  and small group! We look forward to seeing you there!

Operation Christmas Child and South Park Church!

Operation Christmas Time ... Creating Gospel Opportunities One Shoebox at a Time

South Park Church is entering our third year of a wonderful partnership with Operation Christmas Child. It has been a joy to join together as a congregation and with our neighboring churches and community to help bring joy and hope to children in need all around the world. Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan's, a Christian relief and evangelism organization led by Franklin Graham. Each year, volunteers collect shoeboxes and fill them with toys, school supplies and toiletries. Operation Christmas Child adds the most important piece, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, into each shoebox and delivers them to needy children world-wide. Last year over 8 million shoeboxes were collected and delivered. Since 1993, millions of shoeboxes have brought smiles, laughter and most importantly, hope, to children living in war-torn cities and villages, and those ravaged by poverty and disease.

Operation Christmas Child's mission 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. We hope you'll join us in this important ministry this year.
