Operation Christmas Child: Fall is here and it’s time to think about Operation Christmas Child. Please consider packing a box for boys and girls that may not get a Christmas gift at all this year. When packing shoe boxes make them fun, full, and personalized for each child. Collection dates are November 18-25 at noon. This gives you plenty of time to take the kids or grandkids shopping and let them help you make gift choices. The $10.00 donation is being covered by the church again this year so you don’t have that expense when you are packing your box. The boxes are here and ready to be filled. Thanks in advance!
