School of Mission coming July 23-25 at Lon Morris

The 2009 School of Christian Mission is set for July 23-25 at Lon Morris College. You won't want to miss this educational and inspirational event.

There are changes this year so read the informational flyer carefully. If you didn't receive one in the mail check with you local UMW members and share one that was received. You minister also recieved a flyer. It can also be found on line at www.gbgm-umc.org/texasconfumw on the School of Mission page.

This year you have the choice of selecting on'e of three studies: Faith and Food (Spiritual Growth), Giving our Hearts Away: Native American Survival (Social Issue); or The Beauty and Courage of Sudan (Geographical Study). Everyone will not be taking the Spiritual Growth Study as in the past. That study will be taught in small group format as the other studies have historically been. You have a choice of one 8 hour study and one 4 hour study plus enrichment classes. One of the enrichment classes is a field trip to the Caddo Indian Mounds in Alto, Texas (south of Jacksonville). Notice that on the web site there is a sheet of information regarding this trip.

One of the 4 hour classes is a Hands On opportunity. Lots of new ideas so read the flyer and registration form carefully.Hope you all plan on a trip to Lon Morris this summer. Come join us and have a great learning event.

Leave any comments you have at the end of the entry. Let's share our thoughts together.
