Shoebox Thank You. Thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way towards the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal. This year, as a church + some friends, we have sent 34 shoeboxes to children in Kyrgyzstan on the borders with China. Each one of those boxes will be received with joy and delight and words cannot begin to describe the difference it could me to each child. Thank you very, very much. Please pray for each of the shoeboxes and its recipient. ~ Julie and Paul Hardy
