(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.
