Mission education is part of the reason we have a Mission Focus each month. We want to learn more about how our connectional church is connected with people. This kind of ministry is so important today...providing the opportunity for men who need a second chance to become good citizens and better men and to do so within the context of Christian Community.
Your support for the May Offering will be much appreciated by the staff and volunteers at the "Upper Room". Maybe we should take a road trip to South Bend this summer to check out Broadway Christian Parish and South Bend 1st. Keep watching for emerging plans.
