Thank You for Making Our Missions Fair a Success!


This past Sunday, our church was blessed to host an inspiring Missions Fair — and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated!


Whether you helped plan the event, hosted a booth, or simply took time to walk through and engage with our mission partners, your presence made all the difference. The room was filled with conversation, curiosity, and a genuine spirit of connection as we explored the many ways our church is involved in sharing God’s love locally and globally.


Many attendees shared how eye-opening the experience was. Several people said they discovered ministries they didn’t even know our church was connected to. Others remarked how meaningful it was to gain a deeper understanding of our mission partners’ work and the impact they’re making every day.


We hope the fair sparked something new in you — whether it’s a desire to support a ministry through prayer, giving, or even direct involvement.
