OPERATION OUTREACH is a ministry in association with Pastor Dave Gunderson of St. Johns Lutheran – Yankton. He is now serving in Afghanistan. Part of this ministry is collecting children’s shoes. These can be new or used. St. Paul’s LWML is using this as a Christmas project and would like to invite the congregation to participate. There will be a box in the fellowship hall until Thanksgiving Day for shoe contributions at which time we will send them on to Camp Phoenix in care of Pastor Gunderson for distribution.
