Project Agape Boxes

Today is the kick-off! For several years, the NC Conference has adopted Project AGAPE Christmas Boxes as a conference-wide mission project. Jarvis will once again participate in filling plastic gift boxes with expressions of Christ’s love to send to the children of Armenia. The Mission Committee members will distribute boxes and a specific list of items needed for each box. Individuals/families will fill one box each and return it to the church.
