Recently Glasshouse Country Baptist Church members have been busy filling shoebox gifts to support a global ministry, Operation Christmas Child, run by Samaritan’s Purse. This is a volunteer driven event where each year millions of shoebox gifts are distributed to children in over 100 countries. In 2021, 11million boxes journeyed to children in need of hope. The gifts are filled by people all over the world in order to share joy and be a blessing to others and to share the good news of Jesus Christ at Christmas.
GCBC members this year have packed 75 boxes, with the Primary GCC students contributing many more. Contributions and donations were provided by local businesses Deals and Dollars, KHub and Bargain Max and 100 reusable bags were sewn by the ladies of the Busy Fingers craft group. It is simple to get involved and pack a shoebox. If you would like to be a blessing next year please contact GCBC at admin@gcbcq.org or 0400 179 601
