If a student would rather donate money during the week, it will be used to purchase the essentials for the Christmas in July boxes. At the end of our VBS week, we will box up our gifts and deliver them to the Orphan Grain Train in Norfolk for worldwide distribution. If you have any questions, please call Rod Brummels at 402-750-4584 or the church office at 402-748-3301.
