Operation Christmas Child is overwhelming success!
|
From Auburn, the boxes are shipped in huge truckloads to Samaritan’s Purse headquarters in South Carolina. Then they will be distributed worldwide to children who would otherwise have a very dismal Christmas. Along with the toys and articles, the boxes contain the good news of Jesus Christ. Thank you to all the generous members and friends who participated in Operation Christmas Child! |
 Paul Neil stands beside his pickup truck, ready to take the gifts to Auburn.  Loading gifts into Paul’s truck are Cathy Hooper, Gerry Mathews, Joan McEwen, and Barbara Latter. |
Nearly 200 shoe boxes filled with
Christmas gifts for boys and girls around the world were taken from PGCC to the
staging area in Auburn on Friday, November 17. Paul Neil donated his pickup
truck and time to drive the boxes to Auburn. Ladies from Hearts and Hands for Others sorted and wrapped
boxes as needed, and bagged them for loading. Members of the Choir helped to
load Paul’s truck.
