Midland Mission Fair 2008

First Presbyterian Church-Midland has something very special planned for this weekend, and we're hoping you can join us. It's Mission Fair 2008 ... please pray, promote and plan on participating.

"On Sunday October 26th you are invited to come and learn about the many mission opportunities of our church at Mission Fair 2008. Before and after both services and around a special lunch we will showcase all of the missions (local and around the world) that we support. We will have over 40 of our missions represented at different display tables in and immediately outside of Lynn Fellowship Hall."

"We will offer many interactive audio-video presentations, and people from our missions will be on hand to respond to your questions. We want to raise awareness of our mission opportunities, facilitate connections, identify mission resources, show our balanced Christian witness to our community and world, and increase involvement. At many of the tables and display booths you will have opportunity to sign up for participation in 2009 (I.e. Uganda, Thailand, Columbia, Juarez, New Orleans and our own local Upwards)."

"Our keynote speaker who will offer the message at both worship services is Don Richardson. Please read the following article to learn more about Don and his incredible credentials. Please RSVP for coming to the lunch ($7.00) by calling Marty or Rhondy (684-7821)."
