VIDEO: Local Church Is On A Christmas Mission

By: David Carroll

MABEN, Miss. (WCBI)- The warmth of the holiday season was enough to overcome the recent dip in temperatures for an area church out on their Christmas mission.  The Church of God in Maben spent the weekend preparing fruit baskets, folding blankets and gathering toys.   All the items were then loaded onto a 20 foot trailer.   Members of the congregation went door to door throughout the community, Sunday afternoon, distributing the gifts and offering prayer.  Pastor Brian Wells says it’s just a small way to show and share the love of Christ during this special time of year.   This is the second year of the Christmas mission.   The church hopes it becomes an annual event.
