Loving Our Mission Partners

We are on our 2nd weekend of our Loving Our Mission Partners month.  I hope you have been able to use the map and stickers provided to locate the mission partners we have highlighted the past 2 Sundays. Make sure and receive a new prayer card each Sunday during the  month of February as each week we update the cards.  

We have the cards divided into International and Domestic Mission partners. 

 Please take time as a family to use these cards to pray for these folks and organizations that we support as a church family.

Loving Our Mission Partners

Loving Our Missions Partners:

Beginning this Sunday and throughout the month of February we will be focusing on Loving Our Mission Partners during the prayer time each week at church.  Please join us this February as we focus on praying for our mission partners as families.  There will be a display at the welcome table beginning this Sunday with the mission partners we support.  There will be different prayer cards  printed on card stock available each week with prayer requests for the mission partners we support internationally, domestically, and through the mercy offering.  We will be handing out a prayer card/family as you enter church each Sunday through February.  I encourage you to spend time as a family praying for our mission partners.  There will be pictures on the display board as well as the location they are serving in order for you to show this information to your children.   

We will have an 11x17 map for each family (one map/family) to take home on Sunday along with a set of stickers (there is a sticker for each mission partner we support).  The thought with the handout is that each week when you take home the prayer card your child could then locate the area the people serve on the map. Then your child can place a sticker on the map.  We wanted them to recognize how we support people all over the world as well as right here in our community.
