Here's a sweet local Erie vocal group of six big-hearted little girls called Shades Of Pink. They've made Operation Christmas Child their service project for the past few months. They did a fundraiser to raise money to fill shoeboxes and pay for the shipping fees for them.
Tonight they did a concert at our local Millcreek Mall right next to Santa's throne in honor of Operation Christmas Child. In addition to beautiful solos and traditional carols they sang an original version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" adapted just for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes by their director, Cathi Mitchell.
I got a chance to talk a little bit about OCC and thank the girls for their participation. It was sure a great evening!
Then I came home to get onto the laptop and continue clicking on the OCC Extranet site to see what the unofficial totals of processed shoeboxes are.
Right now there have been over 5.6 million shoeboxes processed in the US (unoffically). That's more than ever before and we're creeping box by box toward the goal of 5.8 million we've been praying for.
Keep 'em coming--red, green, or Shades Of Pink--bring on the boxes!
