SHOEBOX MISSION PROJECT – Our current mission project thru November 15th is packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Every box is an opportunity to reach a child with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Preprinted shoeboxes are available in the narthex, as well as an idea sheet on the entrance table in the sanctuary. Please rubberband your box to keep it shut. Shipping is $10 per box. Donations for shipping costs are much appreciated.
