Missions Committee

I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was in prison and you visited me. Matthew 25: 35-36

The 2002-2003 Mission Committee prayerfully considers allocating the mission funds to Local, Nationwide and Worldwide communities. Each month we review and edit the goals that we have selected for this Mission Year. They are currently to:

1. Inform the congregation of the works of the committee
2. Present information on how to give to missions
3. Explore ways to involve Christian Education in missions

Please contact any of the members if you have any questions or suggestions about missions.

Yours in Christ,
Kathy Murphy, Gayle David, Diane Cowie, Kenneth Heckman, Hugh Thuerk, Dawn Durmis
