Missions Festival
February 12–19
Our Missions Festival Committee would like for us to connect with our missionaries in as many ways as possible. In leading small groups, Jeff Kiel of Brazil, uses the book The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence. We have asked him to share about this on Friday evening. But we would also like to challenge you to read the book as an aspect of preparation for the festival. They are available in the foyer for $2.00. Stop by and purchase a book and allow the Lord to use it in your life.
See the bulletin insert for information on how you can help make this year's festival a great success!
The following is a list of the events occurring during the Missions Festival: Sunday, February 12: International Day
