Missions
Global Outreach Weekend: October 17 - 19. We will be the host church for this event. This weekend includes Friday night dinner, a six-hour seminar Saturday, as well as ministry to the entire congregation in Sunday worship. The weekend will help bring a deeper understanding of the biblical basis of global missions, a greater awareness of the world, and a challenge to greater involvement in outreach locally and internationally. Our goal is to inform and equip the Mission Committee and the congregation of the church in the area of missions. We hope to come away from the weekend with a clear plan for the future of the church’s mission work. Hazel Chick
Red Bird
We are planning to go back to Red Bird Mission in Beverly, Kentucky this year. The cost is about $1,000 per person. Work Camp strives to provide home repair for low-income community residents and maintenance for Mission buildings and grounds. Some examples of work projects are roof replacement, small room additions, painting, building porches or ramps, and grounds keeping. Other light duty work is available such as cutting soup UPC's, office work, craft and community store helpers, and recycling. In addition to providing mission opportunities, we strive to provide an atmosphere where participants grow spiritually and gain a personal understanding of mission. Evenings are spent in Christian fellowship and learning about the diverse ministries of Red Bird Mission. If you would like more information about going to Red Bird, please contact Hazel Chick. Visit their web-site at Red BirdAnother way to support the Red Bird Mission is to donate clothes for their store. We will have a box in the sanctuary from July 6 through July 20. They are looking for clothes that are saleable and in good condition. They are not able to sell heavy winter coats or clothes.
