Operation Christmas Child

On November 19, several families from Bridgewood Church joined together for a Family Day event to experience Operation Christmas Child in a new way. They met with other families from around our metro area at a warehouse located in Eagan for OCC . The children were told where some of the shoe boxes, they packed with gifts and candy, would go around the world for boys and girls ranging from toddlers to teenagers. They sang songs and prayed over the shoe boxes. The adults and children had a great time together.

The children pretending to be shoeboxes inside a crate!

Children learned about where the shoeboxes might travel to...

Perhaps the shoeboxes would travel to a poor part of India...

After learning about what life might be like for a poor child in India, they sang some songs.
