OCC Aurora Processing Center: We are very excited to once again travel to Aurora to work at the Samaritan’s Purse Processing Center. It was so informative and so much fun last year. It’s a chance to see the next step in how our boxes are prepared for their trip around the world spreading the Gospel. We’ll be going as a group. If you can join us, please contact Cheryl Allen. We’d love to have you with us!

We will use all monies received for next year’s boxes and needed supplies. Your support for this wonderful ministry is greatly appreciated. Thank You
