“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,

who draws strength from mere flesh

and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

~Jeremiah 17:5~

Operation Christmas Child has officially begun for 2016.  Check one of the four OCC wreaths, select some cards, make your purchases, and turn them in to my Sunday School classroom.  Each card represents gifts costing $10 or less.   Additional cards will be added in each month.
