MISSION BLITZ THANK YOU!

Our 3rd Annual Mission Blitz was a great success. The stories and photos are being shared in many gatherings and on Facebook! Such joy to see persons of all ages serving together, changing lives and opening hearts. Check out the photos and future events at our Facebook Mission Ministry page.

There were 547 persons' ages 2 and up participating, these servants gave their time and energy to complete 10 projects. Plus, we had 100's of families bring food for the Offering at the Altar to restock the pantry.

Also, we celebrate that $4,063 has been donated so far to the Mission Fund. This offering allows us to offer the Mission Blitz fee free.  If you have not given to the Mission Fund, you may still donate online or with a check marked on the memo line "Mission Fund".

Mission Sunday was celebrated with guest speakers in both services with a challenge to see generational poverty and work to alleviate the suffering associated with poverty while building relationships.  
 
If you are looking for a way to serve, contact Jane Currin, Director of Missions, 865-966-6728, ext. 227 or jcurrin@concordumc.com. No need to wait until the next Blitz, there are many opportunities for you to serve now!
