Operation Christmas Child:  For the last four years Grace has served as a Relay Center for Franklin Graham’s Operation Christmas Child Ministry.  Each year we accept shoes boxes from the community that are filled with toys and candy.  As a Relay Center we are responsible to pack the shoeboxes into cartons and deliver them to a central Collection Center located in Manteca.  The cartons are then trucked to Irvine, California where they are loaded into shipping containers for their delivery to needy children throughout the world. In 2007 over 7.6 Million shoe boxes were collected and distributed. National collection week for 2008 is scheduled for the week of November 17^th through 24^th. Grace will be open to accept hundreds of shoeboxes from the towns surrounding Ceres.   Contact:  June Meyers, Sandi Tennison, Millie Mason or Pat Mason.
