Connie's Corner
Mission Accomplished!! It is hard to believe our four-month mission outreach is done for another year. It begins in November and continues until February. 
 
Several years back we joined with other downtown churches in feeding the hungry during the cold winter months. It began with a vision from members of First Christian Church. Though the format has changed the feeding continued on. J.J. White Presbyterian Church picked up the mantel and is now the pick-up point for meal distribution. Our own BYKOTA Circle has participated in this mission since its beginning, and this year Grace Class joined in to help when another church could no longer participate. Our Confirmation Class joined in the effort on the last feeding date.
 
The Confirmation Class made a grocery list, purchased the food items, baked cookies, packed the food containers and helped distribute them. Upon return to the church, they shared a meal together. It was a festive, fun, and meaningful time. These kids have a heart for mission. Our kids live, love, and serve in a big way. It was pure joy watching them participate in their Confirmation mission project. Let us be in prayer for them and their mentors as they continue their faith journey.
 
Many, many thanks to BYKOTA Circle, Grace Class, and our Confirmation Class. We can follow their example, and we too can live, love, and serve in a big way. Ministry opportunities abound.
Think About It…Connie

and bring them

to embrace
and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word,
Jesus Christ your Son;
who with you and the Holy Spirit
lives and reigns,
one God, for ever and ever
 Amen.
