We just wrapped up a message series called Flip Flops. The week leading up to the new series one of the ladies in our church who has a son serving in Afghanistan came in and mentioned that he and members of his platoon were in need of some personal items that the army doesn't provide. One of those items was Flip Flops to wear in the showers. We thought it great timing and did a promotion in the month of June for our church family to bring in Flip Flops and other personal items on their list. Our people really rallied around the cause and so far we've sent over 300 pairs of Flip Flops and over 400 pounds of other personal items such as flytrap sticky strips, baby wipes, bars of soap, lotion, multi-vitamins, sunflower seeds, protein bars and a host of other items the soldiers requested! Thanks Crossroads for coming through for these brave men and women protecting our interests abroad! Here's a shot of me and members of the Matson family boxing up the loot to send to Afghanistan.
