This year for annual conference, May 28 - 30, the Susquehanna Conference has issued a mission challenge. All seven districts are each being asked to collect one item which is used to make up Mission Central Care Kits. Churches are then asked to send those items with their pastor and/or lay member to Annual Conference. During Annual Conference, participants will have the opportunity to work together to tangibly give out our call to work for the transformation of the world by assembling those care kits, which will then be distributed through our partners at Mission Central and UMCOR.
Our Lewisburg District is asked to collect hand towels, good quality, preferably 15X25 - 17X27 inches in size. Our goal is to triple the goal set for the annual conference by collecting 3,000 towels to be used in those care kits.
That is an average of 27 towels per congregation.
All hand towels will need to be in the church no later than Sunday, May 24.
Thank you in advance for showing how the Lewisburg District can share their heart for missions.
