Mission Fest celebrates the importance of our shared missions as United Methodists. The events will bring congregations face-to-face with those serving missions on our behalf and help individuals discover opportunities to serve in mission locally and globally.
We are called as disciples to live out our call in misison to our communities, state, nation and world through gifts of time, service and financial resources.
The challenge will end with a day of celebration in Garden City Nov. 10 and another in Newton on Nov. 11. Guest speaker will be Dr. Thomas Kemper, general secretary for the General Board of Global Ministries.
