🎀 support people diagnosed with breast cancer, including those with metastatic breast cancer
🎀 educate people about breast cancer risk factors
🎀 encourage women to go for regular breast cancer screening starting at age 40 or earlier, depending on personal breast cancer risk.
🎀 EARLY DETECTION IS KEY! 🎀

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to children in need around the world by partnering with churches worldwide to share the joy of a simple, heartfelt gift and the Good News of Jesus Christ. The program also includes a follow-up discipleship course, known as The Greatest Journey, which teaches children how to know, grow in, and share their faith.
Here's a breakdown of the mission:
Tangible demonstration of God's love:
Shoeboxes filled with gifts bring joy and provide a concrete way for children to experience God's love.
Evangelism:
The gifts serve as a tool for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with children and their families.
Discipleship:
Children who receive shoeboxes are invited to participate in "The Greatest Journey," a 12-lesson program designed to teach them about the Christian faith and how to grow in it.
Local church partnerships:
The project relies on local churches to distribute the gifts and facilitate the discipleship program, ensuring a lasting spiritual impact.

This year, Dr. Priscilla Heredia has been selected “team leader” for the Eagle Pass area. She has participated in this amazing project for many years and is now inviting our local businesses, churches and groups to participate in bringing smiles to children all around the world this holiday season.
National Collection Week is November 17th - 24th.

“On this day… 19 years (September 10th) ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00 a.m., Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment, life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.”
