Directions

It's that time of year again! OCC 2011 is now underway! For August we are focusing on school supplies for the boxes - be sure to take advantage of the great back to school sales and help us load these boxes up!

Operation Christmas Child 2010

Last years boxes in the hands of some very happy children! These boxes were actual boxes sent out from our church!
Our Goal for 2010 is to send out 75 boxes!

Praise God our goal was met! Thank you all for making Operation Christmas Child such a success. With your help we are changing lives!
