Correspondence was read from The Living Hope Alliance Church of Huron thanking our group for the 19 “Operation Christmas Child” shoeboxes we donated. Their church collected over l,300 shoeboxes for children in Mexico and Guatamala. (Over 124 million boxes have been distributed since 1993 through this International Relief Fund started by Billy Graham!)
A motion was made to give $100 of our yearly collection (Jar Fund) to the Sanborn County Food Pantry and $75 to the Vacation Bible Day Camp to be held in the summer of 2017.
Sixteen care baskets were filled for various shut-ins, new members, or those who have suffered a loss during the year or added a new baby to their family.
