We are currently taking donations to send Packages of Hope to American troops deployed in separate units across the globe. To make a monetary donation, please visit the contribute tab; be sure to indicate what your donation is for. The average cost to mail each box is $22.00 per box.
Please see the list below for items needed, above all: please pray for our troops and their families. If you are purchasing items, please purchase individually packaged items only and remember to check the expiration dates before you purchase. Keep in mind it can take several weeks before each unit receives their packages.
Donations can be dropped off at the church office or brought to the church on Wednesday evenings between 6:00-7:00 p.m. or Sunday mornings before or during worship service. Service begins at 10:30 a.m.

So let your light shine, let His light shine through you as you give and bring light and hope into the darkness our troops face on a daily basis; be His hands and Feet as you support our troops through giving and praying. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5
Thank you in advance for your support!
