With only six weeks before National Collection week for Operation Christmas Child, a ministry through Samaritans Purse, Mitchell Baptist Church, a Drop Off Center, is busy making crafts for the shoeboxes. Ladies from Mitchell Baptist and Midway Baptist have teamed up to make items to pack in the shoeboxes. Juanita McDonald, Helen Foote and Rhonda Cates are making an octopus to pack in the shoeboxes.
