Hi, Jamiella. We sent 39 stockings and a
bag of extra
items to Grace-in Action. They were very happy to get everything and
will give
them out Christmas Day. Thank you so much for all you did. Please
thank your group for us. It was so much fun working with you and really
appreciate
your help.
God bless you,
LeAnn Bowers and mission team at Pole Line Road Baptist Church.
