In 2015,  2016 and again in 2017 more than 200 Children received Christmas Shoe Box gift boxes packed by our Church members.  Thank you!
 
Operation Christmas Child – Shoe Box gift boxes for children all over the world.  Durant Chapel Baptist Church members participate in a big way during October and November each year in cooperation with Samaritans Purse in this very worthwhile project.
 
Imagine the smile of delight on the face of a child receiving possibly his only Christmas gift.
 
Operation Christmas Child  not only is a happy Christian experience for the children receiving the gift boxes but it will provide the same experience for your children or grandchildren as they help fill the boxes.
 
More information and flyers will be available in October with detailed instructions on preparing the boxes.
 
Food Pantry – Durant Chapel uses a voucher system to help local residents in need of food.  Monetary donations are appreciated.  For more information or if you are someone you know is in need, please contact the Church office a 937-9364.
 
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering – by giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering you are sending many Christians to other nations and supporting mission work around the world. Lottie Moon personified the missionary spirit for Southern Baptists.  She founded the first Southern Baptist mission in China more than 40 years ago!
 
Annie Armstrong Easter Offering – Miss Armstrong was a lay Southern Baptist and she led the creation of the Womens Missionary Union (WMU) in 1888.  The Easter Offering in her memory supports home missions throughout the United States.
