Operation Christmas Child
Our goal was to collect 300 shoe box gifts for our annual Operation Christmas Child efforts. As this was our third year and our collection efforts have increased annually, we were confident to meet our shoe box goal. The week before our collection deadline, there were 255 shoe boxes and on dedication Sunday, November 16th there were 353 boxes ready to be prayed over by our congregation. Right before the evening service, more shoe boxes came in, giving us a total of 432 boxes – that’s 432 children who will be blessed this year, who will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and know that someone who loves Jesus cared enough to pack that box full of gifts, love and prayer to be sent to them so that they will love Him too. God is so good all the time and we pray that the children who receive those gifts will know that and their families will be touched by His presence also.
The Christmas County Spelling Bee
Our children’s ministry has been working all season to prepare for the production of their annual Christmas program. This year’s drama, “The Christmas County Spelling Bee,” will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 7th. Please come and support our children’s efforts for the Lord!
