Our Church has been involved in some very exciting things pertaining to Operation Christmas Child, this year! Sarah Stokes was promoted from relay center coordinator to South Central Virginia Area Coordinator. This is the 2nd year that our church has served as a collection center instead of a relay center. This means that all the little relay centers collect their boxes then deliver them to our church! It is a large but rewarding job for Sarah! Debbie Lehman has now taken on the role of Collection Center Leader and Jennifer Kinne has become the Media Specialist for the South Central VA area. These new roles have proved to be both challenging and exciting at the same time. Christmas has been in the air at FUMC since July!! For the 2nd time this season we have been blessed to host a powerful spokesperson in our small town! 1st Mesfin Gudeta and this past week, Lejlah Allison, National OCC Spokesperson and former shoebox recipient! We have held two packing parties here at our church and packed over 250 boxes. We will host a packing party at HSC next week with the Fellowship for Christian Athletes and another at Brookview Assisted Living. Between the 2 we have a goal of almost 300 more boxes!
Operation Christmas Child is in the air...Have you packed your box??The Lejlah event was held at New Life on a Sunday Evening.
