Mission Immersion Day October 9, 2016
|
|
On October 9th our ENTIRE congregation will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on mission in our community and the surrounding area. We want to extend God’s love in tangible, practical ways. We will gather in the sanctuary at 10:00 am for a brief service of Praise, Prayer and Commissioning. Then we will go forth to serve!!
See below for a list of opportunities that will involve absolutely everyone! Invite neighbors and friends to serve with you! Inform Dixboro members you haven’t seen recently so they can participate and reconnect. Please think about how and where YOU will serve. Then sign up the tear-off below or call the church office (734) 665-5632. |
