Mission Moment!

School is out! Summer is here!

It’s time for: travel and adventure, picnics, camping trips, witness, and mission!

Wait a minute, did I say witness and mission?

Through your offerings to missions, the Mission Team is happy to once again support the work of NOMADS.

Nomads On a Mission Active in Divine Service – NOMADS provide volunteer labor for United Methodist organizations. NOMADS demonstrate God’s love through our work and by listening to the people with whom we work.

Learn more on their web site or talk to our own NOMADS from Wilton: Larry & Karen Marine and Jack & Barb Schmoll.

Again, the Mission Team would like YOU to join them on their one day mission trip to Bidwell Riverside on June 27. We will be leaving from the church parking lot about 7am and heading home about 3:30 pm from Des Moines.
