Operation Christmas Child & Backpacks for Appalachia

It is never too early to start collecting for the 2019 Operation Christmas Child and Appalachian Mountain Backpacks. We have put together a calendar that provides an idea of items to collect each month. The link to the calendar can be found on the Ministries Page on our church website ( mcbccochran.org ) or by clicking here. We will have a collection box in the Welcome Center or turn items in to Adair Rambo, Donna Rambo, or Rebecca Raschke.

The March suggested donations are hair care items such as brushes, combs, hair clips, hair bows, headbands, etc.

The Outstretched Arms Ministry has given away its last winter coat and we are in need of coats, hats, and gloves. Our goal is to give away 100 coats this year. Now is a great time to look at end of season clearance racks and purchase winter outerwear apparel (especially children's sizes). Any purchases can be given to Angie Foley (757-846-4050) or dropped off at the church office.
