The Samaritan's Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts -filled with fun toys, school supplies, hygiene items- and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way. They will also receive a booklet with a gospel presentation inside. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

This year Grace will be a drop-off center for local churches. We are seeking volunteers willing to be the hands and feet of Jesus around the world by getting involved locally with Operation Christmas Child. If you are able to do so please contact Marilyn Bisbee at brianbisbee@hotmail.com or by phone 931-335-7239 if you are willing to to offer your time.

This is one way we can "BE THE CHURCH!'“
