Military Missions
Showing love and support for our soldiers serving in the military!
Through this ministry we will have the opportunity to share our love and support by sending needed and/or wanted items to men and women in our military on overseas assignments who are directly connected to our church family. Please note the list of suggested items and watch for the next packing date.
Keep in mind notes of encouragement and pictures colored by the children would be a blessing for our military!
For more information please email Barbara Dooley or call 405-478-4987. The church office is available Monday - Thursday from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Fridays from 8:00 AM to noon at 405-341-0253.
NEXT Packing Date

You may bring your items to the church office or make a monetary donation. The temperature is 115-120 degrees so no chocolate at this time or other items that might melt.
