Mission 200 Project
This is our Mission 200 Project - 200 because it is the 200th anniversary and because we
are hoping to collect 200 items each month. These items may be placed under the
banner on the stage in Fellowship Hall or in the clothes basket in the Narthex. At the
end of each month, we will count the number of items and include the total in the
weekly updates.

For April, we will be collecting baby diapers and wipes which will be sent to the James
Isaac House.

April Pennies For Mission: Celebration of Mission Event (COME)
Pennies for Mission for the month of April is designated for the Celebration of Mission
Event. The annual Celebration of Mission Event supports our Conference Mission
Ministries, which include our seven Conference missions projects, the Church and
Community Ministries, the New Vision Depot, and Volunteers in Mission. Through our
gifts we celebrate the ONE who calls us to mission. Our Conference Mission Ministries
are dependent upon the cash funds from the Celebration of Mission Event and readily
express their gratitude for the support given them. On behalf of the Conference Mission
Ministries, thank you for your continued prayers, gifts, and involvement in these vital
ministries.

Radio Broadcasts
Our worship service is broadcast every Sunday at 10:45 AM on WMSG 1050 AM and
WKTZ 95.9 FM. Because of your generous giving, we are able to be in the homes of
many in the community who are not able to attend a weekly church service. Your gift to
support the radio ministry in any amount is appreciated, but if you underwrite a full
broadcast for $110, you may place it in honor or in memory of a special person or event
