We all have an opportunity to make a difference – especially children in very poor communities who are affected by poverty, natural disasters and COVID-19.
What is Operation Christmas Child?
Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It partners with local churches in developing nations to reach out to children by providing gift-filled shoe boxes and bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Waterford Hours
Two Waterford hours per shoe box of gifts for children.
For More Information
Please see Mr Dell for more information and to collect your shoe boxes
The virtual simulation of a homeless sleepout is another opportunity for Waterford Hours. A $10 donation to Coast Shelter Gosford and participating in the sleepout will earn 10 Waterford hours.
When: Sunday 16 August 2020
Time: 8 pm Sunday 16 August until 6.00 am Monday 17 August
Students are to sleep in a place other than a bedroom ie in a tent outside, hallway, garage etc. Students are to sleep in a sleeping bag on a roll mat and aren’t to consume food or use technology (including music) during the sleepout.
