**OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD**
y'all, really. our goal CHURCHWIDE is 1,000 boxes. the challenge is to do one for each member of your family. if our WHOLE CLASS did this - we'd have 118 boxes just from the adults (i did this from an old class roll - so i figured people who come most of the time - not ones who have moved, etc.). this does not include children! so relaly, we could have about 150 shoeboxes JUST from the lucaslifegroup!!! i can't tell you how much my family enjoys this every year. i CHALLENGE you to do the same!
