The shoebox ministry at Princeton First Baptist Church set aside a special time Wednesday morning to honor and remember an individual who had made a huge impact in preparing boxes for the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox ministry over the years.
Jane Schauberger passed away last November at the age of 92 and until shortly before her death was actively working on the boxes.
Ruth Gray serves as the director of the ministry and explained the day and some of the ways Jane served with the shoe boxes.
