  The Meeting's Over...Now What?  
 

Over Halloween weekend 2009, over 250 pastors, leaders, delegates and MMSUCC staff met in Independence, MO, for our Biennial Meeting 2009. Points of note:

• Delegates voted to approve the Habakkuk Project.

• Delegates voted to approve the proposed 2010 Budget.

• We were blessed to have a number of special speakers whose words brought light to the important missions and international partnerships we support around the world. Rev. Cally Rogers-Witte, Exec. Dir. Wider Church Ministries, preached our opening worship; Rev. James Vijayakumar, Area Executive for Southern Asia enlightened us during bible study; and Rev. Sandra Gourdet, Area Executive for Africa, spoke our keynote at the conference luncheon. Thank you to our special guests!

• Special thanks to: the worship planning team, the hospitality and children’s programming team, the Gathering Ministry, the staff of the Hilton Garden Inn-Independence, sound and AV staff, and all the many people behind the scenes.
