ODESSA, TEXAS - The sounds of “God Bless America” sung by men and women from all walks of life filled the air Wednesday in Odessa’s First Presbyterian Church.
The song, and a prayer by Pastor Jim Longstreet, kicked off an afternoon of volunteer work for church members, Permian High School students and various other members of the Odessa community.
After collecting donations of items like cocoa mix, toiletries or gun solvent since October, volunteers gathered to pack the boxes for 500 soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Christmas for OUR troops coordinator Charles Cotten said.
