Operation Christmas Child

On Friday, October 7, we were blessed to have a special speaker for our Chapel time. Perry Cartera, with Operation Christmas Child, was here from the Philippines. She shared with us how God’s love is being shown to children all around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes.

WHAT IS OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD? An empty shoe box is good for little except throwing in the trash. But when that shoe box is filled with toys and other small gifts, it becomes a treasure chest that can bring Christmas joy and the love of God to a needy child. Each year, Operation Christmas Child delivers millions of gift-filled shoe boxes around the world to boys and girls who are suffering because of war, natural disaster, poverty, illness, or neglect. The children who receive the boxes also learn about God’s greatest gift, His Son, Jesus Christ.

Salem Academy Christian Preschool will be Collection Center for Salem and the surrounding area. Last year we collected 5,834 gifted-filled shoe boxes and this year over 7,000 were collected! Thank you to everyone who helped make this project a success.

Estate Planning For Your Family

Free Service for our SA family

SA has enlisted the help of Gene Christian, of Charitable Estate Planning Northwest (CEPN), to bring an exciting new program to our community. We are currently offering estate planning services to anyone who has a need for such services. The best news? There is no charge for any who take advantage of the services provided by Gene - and you can do it by phone or Skype!

This is our way of saying “thank you” to our families and friends. For more information visit CEPN's website or contact our Development Office at 503.378.1219. You may discover that you have a need for this service and just didn't realize it.
