Operation Christmas Child

Morning Star 2024 OCC  

Hello Morning Star family, we are providing a month-by-month detailed list and suggestions of items to purchase & donate for our OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: 2024 OCC church packing party 🙏 🎁 🙏🏾 in the fall.

We need to start collecting throughout the year until November – if you see anything that would be appropriate or on sale, you may start bringing it in to church or alert Paola Gagliardi (by text) of good deals and sales.  Since we are starting in April let’s not forget cover the needs for the past months as well.

Thank you in advance for your loving unwavering continued support of this international children evangelization project so dear to many of us 🙏🎁🙏🏾
