OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD UPDATE
We thank Shawna Nance for doing an awesome job coordinating our Operation Christmas Child Shoebox collection. Your donations allowed our youth to double the number of OCC gift boxes (the congregation brought) during their packing party. Some you built OCC shoeboxes online.
One person shared how many online boxes she purchased, so we can add those boxes to our total. Shawna delivered Kirkwood's filled boxes this past week.
Kirkwood distributed at least 104 boxes this year! Thank you for supporting children around the world and helping to spread the Gospel.
