OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOX COLLECTION
Monday, December 2 begins the FCS annual OCC shoebox collection, ending on Friday, December 6. This is the week we return from Thanksgiving break, so don't forget to bring in your shoe box. You can donate $7 for each shoebox you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs. Make your check out to Samaritan's Purse (note "OCC" on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box. You may also give your $7 donation through the OCC website at Online Giving and Tracking.
Track your Operation Christmas Child box to its location. This can be done by donating online and printing off the special shoebox label included in your email receipt. Please Note: The unique barcode on the label is scanned during the shipment process. Covering it with tape or damaging it could affect scanning. Visit Online Giving and Tracking for more details.
Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.
Please join us as we make a difference in the lives of children around the world! Operation Christmas Child brochures were distributed to all students. The brochures provide packing details and boy/girl labels. Pack as many shoeboxes as you like. Ask family, neighbors and friends to join in the fun and pack some boxes, too! According to Carol Smith, OCC Atlanta Area Coordinator, Fellowship is the largest contributing school in the Atlanta area.
Shoebox Blessings:
1. Spreading the Gospel – lives changed for eternity
2. Giving a gift of love to the least of these
3. Family time shopping and packing the boxes

CALLING ALL PERFORMERS
Wednesday, February 5, our fifth annual Elementary School Variety Show. This show allows our students from K5 to Grade 5 to showcase their talents in a non-competitive venue. In the past, we have had the pleasure of watching our talented students sing, dance, play an instrument, cheerlead, hula hoop, perform magic tricks and more! You can perform as a solo act or with a group of friends. We are also looking for 4th and 5th grade students to help with stage set up for each performer. If you would like to showcase your God given talents “on the stage” or help us create a magical show “behind the scenes”, please download the permission slip. Questions?
