Operation Christmas Child – Shoe Boxes!

Pack a shoebox and touch the lives of children and families all around the world, bringing hope through the Good News of Jesus Christ in the form of a simple gift. Boxes are in the foyer of the MAC and in the fellowship hall.  Inside the box is information on what to pack & the shoebox label.
Boxes need to be returned back to the church by Sunday, November 12th.
Our very own Jacob Watson helped a few years ago to deliver shoe boxes to children. He said the kids were so excited.  If you have any questions please see Amanda Watson or Leslie Bivens.


Mission News!

Please remember in prayer Tennessee Missions. The theme this year is:
