SEMO FESTIVAL OF SHARING

 

Hope to see you here in October!  This collection of pictures records some of the activities at the most recent mini-festival from 2010. We need your help on the day of our 2011 festival -- Saturday, October 1 -- to repeat the process all over again.  We invite folks of all ages and all denominations to come together to be "workers in the Lord's vineyard". We also need you to spread the word of the mission of Festival of Sharing to people throughout Southeast Missouri.  We hope to recruit as many churches as possible putting together kits for agencies in Missouri and for Church World Service that will be sent abroad. Link to the 2011 festival page for the schedule of this year's ingathering.  Link to the festival kits page for a list of  kits typically collected that day. Guest Speaker -- Betty Lemons Stoddard County Gospel Mission   Our Host -- Pastor Michael with festival volunteer Selana

Church Youth Groups Please consider bringing your youth to the Festival.  While we admit we need their youthful backs, more importantly it is an opportunity for them to participate in a trans- generational mission activity in their own backyard.  And don't worry if you can't come for the whole day, one half day would be great.

We challenge each of you to bring along with you an individual who has never experienced our festival.  We need to recruit new churches to our festival family.  If you would like a representative of the planning committee to speak to your church or organization, please contact  Mary Ann Taylor    mat63841@gmail.com
