"The MAC Daddy Newsletter" - June
(MAC = Mission Action Committee) 
Partnering with our Women on Mission (WOM) our motivation for missions is summed up in one simple statement. “We will be a servant church.” These words are our guide as we seek to represent God in our activities.  Through the Women on Mission distribution of missionary information, collection of money for missions, the study of missions and the hands-on support of missions locally and globally, we seek to do missions where opportunities and talents converge.  Realizing the unique gifts and callings of individuals we offer several areas of service. We hope you will contact us about how you might be involved.
