Calvary Chapel Flagler Beach outreach for Samaritan's Purse 'Operation Christmas Child' at this year's Creekside Bluegrass Festival was very successful. Hundreds of Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift boxes were given out to people wanting to fill the boxes with gifts for poverty stricken children all around the world. The boxes will be filled with toiletries, toys, hats, clothing and more then returned to Calvary Chapel Flagler Beach or other receiving centers around the county.
Calvary Chapel organizers attracted people to their booth with live Bluegrass Gospel Music provided by Old Guys Rule, the Band and a Free Guitar Raffle for an Alvarez Acoustic/Electric Guitar with a gig bag, capo and picks. The Alvarez Guitar was won by Colleen Byrnes of Palm Coast and will be presented at the 10:30 a.m. worship services this Sunday, Oct. 18, at the church, 204 Moody Blvd., Flagler Beach.
This year marks the sixth year Calvary Chapel Flagler Beach has had an Operation Christmas Child booth at the Creekside Festival.
