In May, seven churches distributed approximately 950 Bibles, a gift bag, and a sausage and biscuit to all willing seniors of Effingham and South Effingham high schools and Crossroads Academy. The Bibles, provided by The Gideons International, featured the school colors, and the gift bags were packed by the church youth groups. The bags included cookies, crackers, candy and messages such as “Jesus Loves You” written on them.
