I wanted to make an announcement at Church Sunday but by the end of service I had forgotten what it was! I'm sure there are many of you who can sympathize with me on that.
At any rate, Steve's latest blog reminded me! So here we go.
Are there enough of us interested in filling shoe boxes for the Samaritan's Purse again this year? I will organize it if I get some responses from you folks out there. Unfortunately I can't go buy all the plastic boxes this time but they are only about 99 cents so I guess we can manage to buy our own.
We made a lot of kids very happy last year. Can we do it again?
I know of a group that does the exact same thing as Samaritan's Purse but takes their boxes to Mexico personally from here in Tucson. We have been invited to do that if we'd like to so let me know if that sounds better. My contact was just awed by the reaction received from the children in small villages in Mexico. It might be fun to join them instead of handing all the boxes over to another organization.
So, thanks Steve, for the timely reminder. I would have been totally disgusted with myself if I had forgotten this until it was too late! |
