Operation Christmas Child     

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. People of all ages can be involved in this simple, hands-on mission’s project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit parishioners are invited to help in one of three ways:

• Make donations of shoe boxes and/or the suggested items.
• Make a monetary donation to help defray the cost of shipping.
• Help pack boxes on Saturday, November 17 at Holy Spirit. There will be two packing shifts: 9:30-10:15 AM and 10:15-11:00 AM.  Youth and families are invited to sign up to pack. If interested, please sign up on the youth ministry board or contact Mary Nowakowski.

To donate: Please put your donations in the box located in the narthex any time before November 17. 

A Service Project For All Ages

Holy Spirit is one of 3 churches who help plan and lead this food packing eventat Bethel Lutheran Church during which hundreds of volunteers pack food in an assembly line fashion. Our goal is to pack 100,000+ meals in 6 hours.
UPDATE: 
This year, over 500 volunteers packed 182,880 meals! Half of the meals stay in Rochester to be distributed through the Channel One Food Bank. Thank you to all who donated their time to make this happen!
