Holy Cross Students Create Faith-Based Boxes

Students at Holy Cross school have created ‘God Boxes’ out of cards. The students designed and created the boxes themselves. The God Box is then filled with tangible things that remind the children what to thank God for, and what to pray for. Each student personalized their own box, and were encouraged to bring these boxes home, and continue to fill them with new hopes and prayers.

Each box also had a special letter attached. Father’s Love Letter” is a paraphrased compilation of bible verses that is presented in the form of a letter from God to his children.
