Photo: Haven of Rest Ministries holds packing event for Operation Christmas Child

Last Saturday, Haven of Rest Ministries, located at 62 North Ave. in Owego, held a packing party for Operation Christmas Child.

Thanks to donations and volunteers, they were able to pack 51 shoeboxes, and were able to include the story of Jesus bible classes for the children, where after the 12-week class they will actually have graduation ceremony and receive their own Bible.
