Good News in a Shoebox
Something To Think About Sharing at a Time of Thanksgiving:
For a number of years Covington Bible Church has partnered with Samaritan's Purse in their annual Operation Christmas Child project. We just sent almost 1500 shoebox gifts on their way to places where need to hear about the Good News of Christ's coming. Even though the Relay Stations, like the one our volunteers ran at CBC, are closed now, through the wonders of the cyber-world, you can still participate online. We Citizens of the United States will eat too much this Thanksgiving. We'll watch more football than any human being should, and we'll shop too much on Black Friday. All of that leads up to another Holiday of excess, which ironically commemorates the coming of One Who became poor so that others could be rich. The folk at Samaritan's Purse are leading the way in doing something that all of God's people, who live in places where Christmas is celebrated, ought to as we enter Advent. Here is a great opportunity to point people to the meaning of this great event that celebrate. Let's make the most of it. I thank the CBC OCC crew for leading the way.
