It’s that time of year again, time to open your heart and bring joy to the life of a child. The Operation Christmas Child shoebox season is gearing up for another year of giving.“We are excited God has given us another opportunity to reach children throughout the world with the message of His great love,” said Debbie Young, who spearheads the local effort with Debbie Patterson. To kick off this year’s effort, a banquet was held at First Baptist Church in Cookeville.
