Bishop Ward's ePistle for September 26, 2011
Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church
Giving and Thanksgiving as United Methodists

 

As 10-Fold approaches this year, the Mississippi Conference with the Louisiana Conference is a $10,000 sponsor for Monday, October 17, as we focus on ministries of the United Methodist Church in domestic disaster response.

As one of the most advantaged conferences through Advance giving in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters, we sponsor this day as a witness of generosity and gratitude. The participation of churches in Mississippi in Advance giving continues to grow and expand.  Share in the joy, connect in mission, grow in generosity!

Thank you for sharing 10-Fold in your congregation.  Young people lead the way in this linkage for mission generosity.  Invite them to help you make this connection for your church.  Click here for information on U.S. Disaster Response Day - Oct. 17.
 

May 10,000 visits to the 10-Fold website on October 17 yield a stronger connection as well as great generosity.

  

With gratitude for your partnership in Christ's ministry, 

Hope Morgan Ward
