Mission and Service Stories (formerly called Minutes for Mission) are for sharing with our faithful supporters to show them the amazing work their gifts make possible. These stories can be used in services, in newsletters, and in face-to-face conversations. The more they're shared, the more people will understand just how life-changing Mission and Service is!
