Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child

OCC is a project of the international relief organization, Samaritan's Purse. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. MABC puts these shoeboxes together and they get shipped outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.

Women's Ministry exists to serve women and to teach them how to serve others. It is action based and focuses on living a Christian life based on the Bible. We participate in helping out our church members including those that are shut-ins and our nursing home residents. We meet one Monday out of the month from September to April with wonderful food, music and activities to help others in our community.
