MISSION DINNER will be not be held this year due to concerns over COVID-19.
However, we will take a door offering for missionary support on Sunday, September 13.
We will have an offering basket at the center door as you enter; side doors will continue to be for
weekly offerings. We encourage you to be generous as most missionaries must raise 100 percent
of their own support. Past recipients of our mission funds have included our own Brent and Eugenie
Friedrichs, Mark and Megan Mantey (Mark's great-grandfather was a teacher at St. John),
as well as other missionaries supported by Mission Central.
The final decision on missionary support will be made by the voters at their October meeting.
