Christmas Card Exchange

Save the stamps this year when you send your Christmas cards. There is a mailbox with alphabetized mail slots in the CLC at OBBC for you to use to exchange Christmas cards with your OBBC friends. You may place cards in the appropriate mail slot according to the last name. Don't forget to check the box for any cards that may be addressed to you! (If you know someone isn't attending church in person because of COVID, please don't put their card in the mailbox.)
