Operation Christmas Child Update: Between our congregation and MOMs Connect, we collected 834 boxes. Our Missions Committee generously paid to ship 150 of the shoeboxes that were packed this year. Our community dropped off 1804! As a result of both our church family and our community, we had a grand total of 2638 shoeboxes in 163 cartons! Please continue to pray for the safety of the shoebox as it continues it's journey to that special child God has picked out for it and for the those receiving them.
