Highland Mills - Echoing the spirit of “giving is the reason for the season,” the Highland Mills United Methodist Church will hold an “Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Filling” party on Sunday, Nov. 8, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. following the morning’s worship service.
Thanks to donations from church members, friends and local merchants, the shoeboxes will be filled with school supplies, basic hygiene items, small toys, clothing and other everyday items, then shipped to children in need throughout the world.
