Troops Care Package

December 2007

We would like to thank all the people who generously brought items by to send to the Troops in Iraq. We had the pleasure of shipping 13 boxes totaling 244 pounds. The packages were sent to General Pil, who will then disperse among our solders. We had a variety of gifts brought in: loads of cards to the soldiers from the area schools and citizens, Psalm 91 cards, hygiene items, decks of cards, mind teasing puzzles, puzzle books, mystery novels, magazines, chips, cookies, hot sauce, soup, gum and non melting candy. Please, continue to pray for the soldiers’ safe return home.
