The amazing
journey of a simple
shoebox gift
begins with YOU.
How to Pack a Shoebox
1. PICK UP YOUR EMPTY SHOEBOX
Empty shoeboxes will be available in the Southview Community Church lobby on Sundays from 10am - 11:30am beginning October 31, 2021.
2. FILL YOUR BOX
Fill the box with a variety of age-appropriate gifts (see below) and a note for the child if you'd like.
3. LABEL YOUR BOX
Use the label to indicate on your shoebox whether it was packed for a boy or girl and which age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14.
3. DROP YOUR BOX OFF
Wrap a rubber band around your box and drop it off in the Southview Community Church lobby any Sunday from 10am - 11:30am until November 21, 2021.
4. PRAY
Most importantly, "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17) for the child who will receive your shoebox gift.
-
Please also pray for:
-
Their family to also be receptive to the Good News of Jesus Christ.
-
The pastor of the church who delivers your shoebox gift.
-
Their community to be transformed by the Gospel.
