It’s time to put faith into action and make plans NOW to attend the 18th annual Mission Fair. Please mark the date on your calendar and plan to be in Pierre for a day of sharing and caring. Registration and morning coffee begin at 9 a.m. with opening worship at 10:00. The day’s activity will wind down by approximately 1:00.
All types of homemade, handcrafted items are needed for the Silent Auction, including garden produce, houseplants, and baked goods. Other items might include gift baskets, wood-working projects, drawings or paintings, pottery, yard and garden decor, sewing projects, and so much more! Put your unique God-given talents to work and benefit the fight to end world hunger!
Bring your mission kits, securely taped and labeled with your church name, the type and number of kits (only one type kit per box) and accompanied by the completed Kit Remittance Form for the conference office. NOTE: Do not include on your form any items that have already been reported. Do not place cash or checks for toothpaste in your health kits or in the box in which they are packed. This should be turned in separately when you check in your kits.
Effective January 2018 there have been changes to the types of relief kits which will be collected by UMCOR. These include school, hygiene (health) and cleaning kits only. Recent changes to the school kit add an extra package of loose-leaf paper and replace the cloth bag with a two-gallon re-sealable plastic bag.
And, most importantly, bring your enthusiasm for Mission. Learn from our speakers, enjoy worship, entertainment, good food, and a time to fellowship with old and new friends.
