Announcement: Operation Christmas Child Community Service Opportunity
During the month of October, we will be collecting items for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. There will be a collection box in the Fellowship Hall every Tuesday and Thursday in October. You can also give the items to Kristi Hyche (Text her at 404-488-7843 to set up a meeting or with any questions).
