Annual Missions Convention

Our annual missions convention is coming up January 25th!  Sunday morning, we have two excellent missionaries with us.  We have been supporting Phil & Kim Rojack, missionaries to the islands of the South Pacific for years!  I can't wait to hear more about what God is doing through them and our support.  They will be sharing in the worship service and in our children's ministries.  We have also been supporting Carrol & Gayle Deal, missionaries to the nations of Africa for decades.  He is an amazing missionary speaker!  You will not want to miss his message on Sunday morning.  Sunday evening, David & Zenetta Hewkin, missionaries in Eastern Europe, will share with us at 4:00 p.m.  If you miss the a.m. service due to work, don't miss the 4:00 p.m. service.


We will also be making our 2015 faith promises for missions giving.  This year, we have already had the children and youth make their pledges to Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge (BGMC) and Speed the Light (STL).  The youth have already pledged to raise several thousands for STL in 2015.  Last year, we asked everyone to give to these programs.  This year, the kids want to do it on their own!  So, adults, let's come prepared to make a faith promise for missionary giving in 2015 that will build the kingdom of God through missionaries we already support, ones who need a raise, and new missionaries who desperately depend on a church's help!


Every time we have missionaries, we receive an offering for them on the day of their visit.  That offering does not go toward our regular monthly support of missionaries.  It is a way to bless them for their time and ministry and to cover their travel costs as well.  Please attend our missionary services with a heart to give and be prepared to do our best for the missionary and be a blessing to those who serve.
