Tuesday

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,

as some understand slowness.

Instead he is patient with you,

not wanting anyone to perish,

but everyone to come to repentance.

~2 Peter 3:9~

 

Pray for the family of the late J.L. and Wanzie Williams.  Her sister, her niece, and their older son are all in need our our prayers.

The Journey of a Shoebox – https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/the-journey-of-a-shoebox/?utm_source=OCCFacebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=m_YOCC-15SM&utm_content=Journey-of-a-Shoebox-9-26-16

You can see a drop-off location at the beginning of the journey.  That will be what we will be doing this year.  It’s the first step after your shoeboxes leave your homes and churches.  The main point of shoeboxes is the last step, getting them into the hands of little children!

 

We are only seven weeks away from serving as a drop-off location.  Get your boxes packed and ready to go!
