Operation Christmas Child

Today is the last day to turn in “Shoeboxes” at any Drop-Off location. Check the schedule and get there as early as you can. I’ll have a final count of shoeboxes and packed cartons for our Drop-Off site tomorrow.

We had two new churches to turn in boxes this year. Pray they will become regular donors.
