Operation Christmas Child:
Remember the team from Grace that will be going to Charlotte to help process the shoeboxes.  Please pray for traveling mercies and health.  Additionally, pray for the buses of volunteers from Ohio who will be serving.

Grace had a total of 1488 OCC shoeboxes overall.  For our collection point of Mercer County, 5294 were collected.  Thanks for everyone’s support as it was another successful year and the gospel opportunities are on their way to children around the world.
