Our congregation put together a very successful Christmas toy drive for children in Gary, West Virginia this year.  The collection took place during the month of November through Wednesday, December 5.  This was our second Christmas reaching out to this West Virginia community.  We collected new toys, unwrapped, specific for either a boy or girl and a specific age group.  We had an angel tree in the friendship court with complete detailed information on each ornament.  Our goal was to collect 100 gifts.  We ended up collecting over 350.  Because of the generosity of our members, this outreach effort was a great success.  A group of our members delivered the gifts to School For Life in Gary, WV on Saturday, December 8.  Jack and Brenda Fultz, directors of School For Life, invited parents of children in the area to come to the school that afternoon.  The parents came, enjoyed a nice lunch provided by a Baptist Church from Atlanta, and then were able to pick out presents to take home and wrap for their children this Christmas.   Jack and Brenda Fultz extended a warm and heartfelt thank you to every member of our congregation for making this project possible for these wonderful West Virginia families.  Thank you for your support of this mission outreach effort.
