We have received Easter greetings from some of our missionary family.  You can see them on the hallway bulletin board.

We received an Impact Report from Operation Christmas Child this week. You can see it in its entirety on the bulletin board in the hall.  Some highlights include: 11.9 million shoeboxes collected in 2024, over 134,000 outreach events led by trained local church leaders in 2024, and over 46 million children enrolled in the twelve-week discipleship program called The Greatest Journey since 2009.  Praise the Lord! Keep praying as OCC presses on to reach over 1,000 unreached people groups by 2028.  Three hundred and sixty-five were reached in 2024.
