Troop Care Packages

We packed 21 boxes on Wednesday,  Dec. 7th

to send to 7 service men and women
who are overseas with the help of numerous donations.  

 

We will be shipping again in the spring.   Please call the church office if you know of anyone who is deployed overseas so we can send them a box.  We send extra to each service person so they can share with other service people on base.   All donations are greatly appreciated.  A list of suggested items are listed below.

Thank you for all you have done & will do, 

to help make it possible to send these boxes,

helping make their day a little brighter!

Please keep all of our military in your prayers!
