Thanks so very much to all who packed an Operation Christmas Child shoe box, who prayed and those who volunteered to help.

These will go to needy children in more than 100 countires around the world, as well as the message of Jesus.

Thanks also for the Post-Searchlight newspaper for the ad and boxes you packed.

A total of 2,543 boxes were collected from our area.

Thank you all in the name of Jesus,

Judy P. Ward, area volunteer
