<<< What's new this year at Yearly Meeting -
What exactly is a "Missionfest?" >>>
Saturday Evening's traditional "Missionary Banquet" is being updated with a new venue and location. We will be meeting all together at Malone University's Osborne Hall for one event.
This year's Missionfest will feel more like a wedding reception with international foods and plenty of time for folks to share laughs and highlights of their year with friends they only see once a year. Here's what we envision:
Like a wedding reception, friends come to celebrate & be together.
- There's time to stop and re-connect.
- People can mingle throughout the evening.
- There won't be a long speech, only short interruptions to share moments with the whole group.
- Everyone can enjoy the varieties of food at their pace.
- Those new to the family are warmly welcomed and have the
chance to meet new friends, and share about their lives.
>>> Now that you know a little more about Missionfest, register today!
<<<<<Next week, we'll share more about new plans for the "Pastor's Think Tank" for this year.
5K/ 1 Mile Walk for Missions - Returning this year!
THIS EVENT IS FOR EVERYONE! New this year, we're adding some special incentives for our pastors to participate and for all participants to initiate sponsors for their participation.
There will be a prize awarded for the first pastor to finish the 5K plus we are encouraging all participants to gather sponsors for your racing/walking. All proceeds will go to missions. There will also be a prize for the person who raises the most support. Registration forms available on line by Friday. (http://www.efcer.org/ym2014/5k)
