This photo was taken at worship Sunday morning May 9 in the present church building in La Palma. Note the letters MBH on the back of the folding chair. That is one of several chairs that went down last year on a very full container. When the McCune Brooks Hospital in Carthage moved to a new facility last year, they donated a lot of medical equipment and furniture to our mission work. The donation included the chair above plus several uninteruptible power supplies for computers (those were stolen in the last breakin).

In the containers that shipped out yesterday there are many more items from MBH, including 35 upholstered chairs from the waiting room, 12 stacking chairs from exam rooms, 5 PADDED folding chairs, 6 office tables, a conference table, 7 office chairs, 3 office desks, some book shelves, some file cabinets, 4 refrigerators, some cabinets, 2 gurneys, 2 coffee pots, and a lot more. It takes a lot of work to gather up equipment like that, store it, and ship it, but the end result is a better place to worship and conduct school. There were also 13 oak pews (with paddding) that were donated by a church in Rogers, AR.
