Our Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Ministry is a beautiful ministry that sends items to children in need around the world for Christmas. Stratford's ministry is collecting items year round, so when we get to Christmas we can pack boxes as a church and community to send. This last year we packed over 1000 boxes to send abroad.
Our ministry with OCC is led at Stratford Free Will by Crystal Stanfield. She has generously given of her time and efforts to organize the schedule and the party where we pack up all the boxes. If you would like to donate items monthly to this ministry, the schedule will be listed below.
