Operation Christmas Child Angela Short is coordinating Operation Christmas Child this year through Samaritan’s Purse ministries. This ministry helps provide Christmas “shoebox” gifts to children who may rarely receive gifts for themselves, if at all, and

uses the gifts as a way to share the Gospel and build ministries in various foreign countries through the OCC outreach. There are various ways to get involved, such as making your own shoebox gift, providing shoeboxes and/or materials for the shoeboxes, and/or donating funds to help ship the shoebox gifts. We are focusing on kids socks of all sizes for the next few weeks. You can place them in the container labeled Operation Christmas Child. Thank you for all your support!

There will be no service here that morning. Please join us at the Sullivan Downtown Gym. We will have Family Worship that evening here at 6:00pm.
