After having the Operation Christmas Child (OCC) kickoff meeting last Saturday, plans are being made for what this OCC season will entail. With the coronavirus, OCC organizers are asking every collection center to host outdoor collections. This also means changes to our packing parties that Bethel has hosted for many years.

Roseann Stahl has already started forming ideas for how to collect & pack boxes. As those plans are finalized, we will be requesting your help to serve in various capacities. Please pray for her and all the coordinators across the country as everyone's plans have been changed.

To get started with OCC today, please be looking for sales on school supplies, hygiene items, and "wow" items to include in your shoebox. For more information about what to include and stories how shoeboxes help carry the gospel around the globe, visit the OCC website:
