Last year CUBC was involved for the first time with Samaritan's Purse's "Operation Christmas Child." This ministry, also commonly known as "the shoe box ministry" is a terriffic opportunity to show the love of Jesus to someone around the world that may not otherwise be able to see or hear about Jesus Christ. You can see a map of the Operation Christmas Child areas of operation to get a better idea of where things are going.
We were able last year to ship 219 boxes given by members of our own congregation. In addition, since we acted as a relay point for other churches to drop off their boxes, we were able to help send 423 boxes altogether. A special Thank You from all of us at CUBC as we celebrate together what God is doing through this ministry. We are glad to have been allowed to be a part of this effort last year, and we are looking forward to what the Lord will allow us to do this year as well.
