Haiti Shoebox Collection
While everyone is celebrating the same Savior on Christmas morning, not everyone’s Christmas looks the same. CrossLife Church is excited to announce they will be partnering with New Missions again this year to host a shoebox drive to bring some extra Christmas joy to children living in poverty in Haiti. New Missions is also inviting families to consider making shoeboxes for teachers, nurses and pastors in need.
Packing lists to build shoeboxes will be located around campus or by clicking here. Please drop off your shoebox in the Worship Center Atrium by Sunday, December 15. It’s our prayer that God uses each shoebox to encourage and bless families in Haiti and to light up the face of children with Christmas morning kind of smiles.
