From January until Palm Sunday, African Palms volunteers are busy with one of St. John's largest outreach programs. On average we ship palm crosses to more than 3000 churches.
This mission has been part of St. John's since 1976.
Crosses shipped directly from Africa are being loaded in sheds.
Crosses are shipped in large boxes and stacked until packing begins.
Packers open large boxes of crosses and repack them in smaller boxes
to ship to churches across the USA in time for Palm Sunday.
Our office volunteers open mail,
process orders,
review payments
and help with filing.
