Mission: Here and Around the World

What’s been happening?

In October we welcomed Rev. Cody Watson from Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship. He preached at the worship service, spoke to the Adult Education class and ate lunch with the Senior High students. Fort Streeters learned how this portion of PCUSA mission attempts to minister to “Unreached Peoples” around the world.

This fall we have also welcomed Campus Ministry groups from Western Michigan University and the University of Michigan. The groups used our church over the weekend for sleeping and eating while working at various missions in the city.

On Halloween this year we took a delicious pasta dinner and treat bags to Trinity Community Presbyterian Church during the week that they hosted the Cass Community Rotating Shelter.

What’s coming up?

This summer Hope College sophomore, Laura Jackson, will attend a 6 week summer service project in Guatemala with the New Wilminton Mission Conference team of young adults. The mission committee is happy to be able to contribute to this mission effort and encourages Fort Street members to attend the conference July 21-27, 2007 to hear all about her trip.
