Christmas in a shoebox 2019

Operation Christmas Child (Christmas in a Shoebox) is the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind.  It uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. 

Last year the Luxembourg team collected 1.700 boxes, 455 of which were collected through our International English-speaking community.  A big thank you to all who contributed and a huge challenge to see how well we can do this year ! 

You can help by: packing a box, donating bulk contents for boxes, ‘buying’ a packed box, donating money.  For further information feel free to talk to people from our team at the ‘Shoebox stand’ at the back of the church through the month of October.

Further information can be found in the presentation below.
