Missionary Sunday
Sunday November 25 is a dedicated to support missionaries Mike and Jo Ann Megahan in their work in Botswana (Africa). We have supported their missionary activities in Kenya and now in Botswana. Mike has been part of a team that is translating the Bible into the locate Botswana language. The New Testament has been completed and they are working on the Old Testament now. (see October Voice for the recent update)
The Witness Committee and The Thrivent local Chapter are sponsoring the coffee hour after church on November 25. All Donations will go to the Megahan fund with matching funds from Thrivent. We hope that you will join us for the Coffee Hour and help the Megahan mission.
If you cannot come to the coffee hour, we encourage you to put your contribution in the offering plate or mail them to the office. Please mark your envelopes Megahan Fund. We hope that we can meet a goal of $1200.00.
