Operation Christmas Child Ingathering

 

Linda Thomas (left) and Virginia Ball were just some of the ladies on hand this week to pack boxes for Operation Christmas Child. This week is ingathering as churches from across our county bring in the boxes they have collected for eventual distribution to over 100 countries world wide. The annual project is sponsored by Samaritan's Purse and provides gifts and the Gospel message to children throughout the world. It's not too late to get your box turned in! Come by the church office, pick up a brochure for either a boy or girl, purchase the items, pack the box and you're good to go! Boxes are being dropped off in the Activities Building this week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

 

Coming to Central Baptist Church Feb. 28, 2009. Be watching for further information!
