Good Stuff in TEC: Maine


Church Takes Part In "Operation Christmas Child"

The Trinity Episcopal Church in Saco is taking part in a charity program donating Christmas gifts to disadvantaged kids in foreign countries.

"Operation Christmas Child" is a nationwide program that was started by the Samaritan's Purse International Relief Fund. Gift-givers pack a shoebox full of gifts, and that box is sent to the kids.

The Trinity Episcopal Church has been collecting gifts since September, and the program coordinator has made up a Christmas tree chart to help show their progress. As the boxes come in, a star sticker is added to the tree.
