Kick Off the Season of Giving

You are invited to a very special Christmas party on
Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.
at the Taylor’s house – 7809 W. Londonderry Ct.

The Taylor and Bade families are teaming up to create
this fabulous beginning to the holiday season.

Each year Samaritan’s Purse, a charity organization, collects and distributes thousands of shoe boxes, filled with toys and necessities, to needy children around the world. This has become a family tradition at the Taylor’s to begin the Christmas season. Our children help choose the items for the shoe box, include a short note to the recipient and as a family we pray for the child who will receive our shoe box. We also spend time talking about the blessing of giving and how this will be the only gift this child receives. It truly is a great way to begin this special season. And this year we invite you to join us.

Here is what you do to participate:

1. Visit the Samaritan’s Purse Web site to learn more about what items to pack in your shoe box http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/index/



2. Print the instructions including the label for your box.



3. Now comes the fun part….go shopping! Choose the items to pack in your shoe box. You may decide to complete a single shoe box as a family or create one box from each child. i.e. Our family will create one box from Jackson for a boy and a box from Maddie for a pre-school girl. Whatever you decide….please join us!



4. Bring your shoe box and contents to the party where we will pack our shoe boxes together. Please note that Samaritan’s Purse requests a donation by check to cover the cost of shipping.



5. Feel free to bring items to share. Some items are much less expensive to buy in packages such as bars of soap, socks and Hot Wheels cars. And no child, no matter how destitute, wants a shoe box full of soap and socks! We’ll create a “share” pile where you can swap your extra soap for a toy car or a pair of socks.



6. RSVP to the Bades (759.9434) or the Taylors (759.4849) by Nov. 1 so we know how many cookies to bake.

Come prepared to enjoy Christmas music, Christmas cookies, hot chocolate and a reminder of the gift given to all of us the first Christmas.

We hope you will begin your Christmas season with us!
