CHRISTMAS IN JULY FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: We will be celebrating Christmas for the entire month of July in the form of giving! For all of July you can bring in donations for the shoeboxes we pack in Novenber to send to children in need all over the world through Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child. Last year LHCC was able to send almost 300 boxes to children filled with toys, books, personal care items (non-liquid please), school/art supplies, clothes, shoes, accessories, and most important the Gospel of Christ. Help us get a jump start on this year by bringing in any of these items and leaving them in our donation box at the church. For any questions you can see Carrie Vallee or email Kelly at kholdridge5@gmail.com.
