Happy Friday! And welcome to the December (can you believe it's already December?) edition of our newsletter, Mission Matters!

There is so much to celebrate this time of year and for us, we want to celebrate a wonderful year of successful missions.
And, because none of our missions could happen without our amazing volunteers, we're gonna celebrate with a volunteer appreciation and open house.
Please join us on December 6th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at our office (8363 Melrose Dr., Lenexa, KS 66214) for our Volunteer Appreciation & Holiday Open House!
