Conference Annual Gathering |
|
The Annual Gathering of the
Missouri Mid-South Conference will be held on the weekend of
June 11-13 at Drury University in Springfield, Missouri.
Plans are underway for an exciting and inspiring time together.
Learn more and keep up with plans as they unfold
here.
Although this is a "FaithWorks" type gathering to which everyone
is invited, there will also be an important business meeting on
Saturday morning so we encourage churches to send delegates
to represent your congregation at our business meeting.
During the business meeting, we will vote on the 2011 budget;
adopt amendments to our conference constitution and bylaws;
elect the members of our new Conference Council and our
2011/2013 General Synod delegates; and vote on the ratification
of changes to the UCC constitution and bylaws. |

Conference Minister's Trip to Congo |
|
In 2009, the Conference
established a partnership with the Bokungu District of the
Christian Disciples of Christ in Congo.
In February, our Conference Minister Rev. Jeffrey Whitman will
join a delegation of individuals from Disciples of Christ and
UCC in a mission trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The trip is led by Rev. Sandra Gourdet, Area Executive for
Africa with Wider Church Ministries. During the two week trip,
the delegation will visit with ecumenical partners in both the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo,
including representatives of the Church of Christ in the Congo;
the National Women’s Department of the CCC; leaders of the
Community of Disciples of Christ Church; and members of the
Church of the Disciples of Christ in Congo.
Learn more about this exciting partnership and mission work
here. |
