Book Reviews

The Shack by William P Young. A grieving father receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him to meet in the Oregon wilderness where his daughter was abducted and murdered. Against his better judgment, Mack arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, The Shack wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" Have you read it? What do you think?

Operation Christmas Child Processing Center

Hello! This is Cindy. I just returned from the Processing Center in Charlotte, NC. While there we (100's of us) processed over 300,000 shoebox gifts. We had a celebration on Saturday, as we processed the millionth shoebox at Charlotte this season. Charlotte has the largest processing center for Operation Christmas Child in the US. They will process 1.8 million shoebox gifts to be sent out to over 110 countries. Our Northeast Region collected 250,949 shoeboxes! It was a privilege to be a part of bringing a "simple" gift to children around the world. A gift that shows them Jesus loves them. Please continue to pray for the children that will receive these gifts. Thank you. Here are some pictures to see what we did!
