Operation Warmth - This is a coat drive for children in our area schools.  We will be collecting the coats during the months of September and October.  Look in your closets, your boxes, your plastic tubs - if you can't find one there, try the local thrift stores.  If you have any questions or would like to help with this outreach, please see Pastor Charles.
