Operation Christmas Child Finishes Strong
Well, the results are in. As a church, we collected 5,753 shoeboxes! That is up 15 percent from last year. The White Bear Lake campus, which is also a regional collection center for the area, collected 15,601 boxes total. Thanks to everyone who packaged shoeboxes this year. Thousands of children all over the world will receive a gift this Christmas that they wouldn’t have otherwise received. For most, it will be the gift of hope. Way to go everyone.
