The congregation of the Columbia Baptist Church took time following worship service Sunday to pack boxes for Operation Christmas Child 2024.
After packing more than 1000 shoebox gifts last year for the first time, this year, the church has already packed more than 1100 shoebox gifts.
The shoebox gifts are used to spread the love of Jesus Christ to children and families in need all over the world.
The national collection week for OCC is November 18–25.
Boxes in Adair County can be delivered to the Columbia First Church of the Nazarene Wheet Fellowship Hall located at 1200 Jamestown Street.
