Bella Vista First UMC — Sending Valentines to the troops
04-02-2010
In February, the children of Bella Vista First UMC sent Valentine’s Day cards to a Marine unit in Iraq.
This unit has been in Iraq for almost eight month, and this was not the first deployment for most of the Marines. The project included time for the children to talk about service to God and country as well as love and caring about others.
The kids brought some extra items such as powder drink mixes, eye drops, cards and trail mixes to add to the care package.
