Every July, St. John's United Methodist Church hosts a "Christmas in July" project. It's "Operation Christmas Child" is a way for individual persons to get involved with children in another country providing special Christmas gifts. Last year approximately 168 Christmas boxes were supplied. To find out more about Samaritians' Purse, go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/.
