The Fellowship of the Cross has some exciting news to share: some of our 2025 Operation Christmas Child boxes reached Thailand! This is the first time in 15 years that our boxes have reached children in Asia. Previously, we reached Ukraine and multiple countries in Africa, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
We would also like to thank everyone who has continued to make contributions through winter and early spring. We found a box of pencil sharpeners and grocery bags full of other cool stuff in April. We are always collecting school supplies, stuffed animals, and small toys, T-shirts and caps, balls and dolls, jewelry and hair accessories, socks and shoes, and other gifts that fit inside a shoe box. This will be our 16th campaign, and we have filled more than 1,600 boxes. For more information, see Grace or Bill, Education Coordinator Mandy Williams, or Pastor Hannah.
