2017 Operation Christmas Child Report

A total of 110 filled shoeboxes were delivered to the drop off station at Open Door Baptist Church last week.   We ask now that you be in prayer for the children who will receive one of the over ten million boxes that Samaritan’s Purse will give out world wide with the message of salvation.    A daily prayer guide bookmark can be found in many locations at the church to help keep them in your prayers.
A special thanks to the Child Development Center for their great effort and promotion.   Thanks also to the Pioneer Sunday School class for once again wrapping boxes for participants to use.

Remember that after Christmas sales are a great time to get small toys at great reductions.  Start planning now for 2018. William E. Thomas, OCC Coordinator

Shopping Ministry  Through a generous donation we purchase canned goods to support the work of the Culpeper Senior Center. We need shoppers who can go once a month to buy and deliver to the Senior Center. GREAT project for a class or a family. We will rotate this around so you would only need to do it once every 5-7 months. Contact Hans to help.
