Operation Shield The mission of Operation Shield is to provide Christian support to those serving in the military as well as to their families. Operation Shield (Support & Hope In Everlasting Love & Devotion) gets its name from 2 Samuel 22:3: My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the strength of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior.
The group maintains a bulletin board with photos of those serving as a constant reminder to pray for strength and safe return of our troops. Regularly, care packages and personal prayers written by congregation members are sent to those serving abroad as well as those in the US. In addition, special recognition is given to veterans of the armed services. If you know of anyone serving who could be included or if you would like to participate in the activities of Operation Shield, please contact the church office. |
