On Sunday, November 16, our Sunday school children will be putting together Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes during the Sunday school hour. This is a wonderful way for our kids to share God’s love with children around the world. We’re currently accepting donations to help fill the boxes. They can be dropped off at church before Sunday, November 16. You can make a big difference in a child’s life by donating new, small items that show care and bring joy.
