Thank You Thank you, church family, for taking part in

Operation Christmas Child. We gave a record

314 shoe box gifts! Thanks to all who gave

money for gifts and shipping and to those who

packed shoe boxes. Together we are not only

bringing great joy and providing for some of the

needs of children around the world, but we are

helping to share the Good News of Jesus Christ!

Continue to pray for the volunteers and for the

children who will receive these precious gifts.
