The year has been unprecedented. But it is time to begin thinking about the Operation Christmas Child Shoe-boxes for Christmas.

We know that shopping can been a problem for some, so our committee would be happy to do the shopping for you. If you would like us to shop for you, please make your check  out to Barcelona Road Baptist Church and write either Operation Christmas Child or shoe-boxes on the memo line. If you would prefer to give cash, please put it in an envelope marked Operation Christmas Child or shoe-boxes. Cash or checks may be placed in any offering plate or brought to the church office.
