First Church’s World Outreach Week for 2008 will be April 6-13. This year’s emphasis will be Missions: Every Believer's Business, a contemporary paraphrase of the Great Commission. If we take seriously the call that Jesus gave to go into all the world, we must take seriously the "business" which is at hand. Our mission to the world takes place in far away places, and in our own backyard. This is the theme, not only for World Outreach Week, but for the 2008 year. Our children's ministry is actively participating in backyard missions. Our women's ministry is making mission a priority here at home. Our missions council is continuing it's efforts to send people around the world and sponsor those sent from our church in full-time mission work. Only through your commitment to Faith Promise can we continue the business that every believer is commissioned to do. World Outreach Week is just the beginning of a new year of mission at First Church. Come join in the fun!
