On November 13, Boundless Grace Baptist Church will have a church-wide packing party to fill 1200 shoeboxes. We participate in the Operation Christmas Child ministry, which is a part of Samaritan’s Purse. This is a year-round effort to provide hygiene items, school supplies, clothing, and toys to boys and girls around the world, but the most important gift to them is the Good News of Jesus that is shared with each box.
This year we were given a house to use for collecting and organizing these gifts. Volunteers meet once a week to work and pray. We are blessed to be able to give to this wonderful ministry that will make a difference in the eternal life of families all over the world.
Giving is a blessing!
Give, and you will receive Good measure and pressed down. It’s shaken together, Spilling out all around. Watch the generous soul. He will be rich indeed. When he waters others, His blessings will exceed. For all things we possess Come from our God alone. Our abundance and gifts Are His and not our own. So, God, we honor You With all of our treasure. Our first fruits of increase To the Lord we measure. So our barns will be filled With plenty when needed. Our vats will overflow, Our rewards exceeded. Give willingly to all Who comes and asks of you. And he who can’t repay, Your forgiveness is due. Try Me now and witness What will open for you, The windows in heaven, Countless blessing so true. Poured out in abundance Until they overflow, More than you can receive, More than you’ll ever know. God is able to make All grace to you abound, So you will have enough For every good work found. Let each one of us give And purpose from the start, Without any grudging, But with a cheerful heart. Luke 6:38 Proverbs 3:10 Malachi 3:10 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
