Our Thanksgiving Service was held on Nov. 23. Before the service began, members of our congregation each held one or more of the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and a prayer of dedication was given. The boxes were then placed on the altar by those who held them.
After the service, volunteers carried the boxes outside to Bob & Camilla McKee's van.
Each box was carefully packed and made ready for the trip to the drop-off destination,
Fairlane Alliance Church, in Dearborn, MI
At Fairlane Alliance church, Camilla signs in for Grace Bible Church.
We gave a total of 61 boxes this year. Camilla was told that Fairlane Alliance takes in about 6,000 boxes per year; and another church collection sight takes in about 5,000.
We again thank everyone who was involved in this year's Operation Christmas Child.
A big 'Thank You' goes to Camilla McKee for over-seeing this project once again.
And a big "Thanks" to Joel Ashby for the photography work.
