Festival of Sharing
This October, we will be involved in an exciting mission opportunity, the Festival of Sharing, at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia, Missouri.
Our Savior's is currently collecting items for the following kits: Readin’ and Writin’, Student Dental and Women’s Prison. A complete list of items needed is available at Festival of Sharing Kits.
The Festival itself begins Thursday afternoon, October 14 and continues through Saturday afternoon October 16, hundreds of people representing many faiths and denominations will gather to offer kits they have collected throughout the year so that they may be distributed to agencies and prisons in Missouri as well as to international aid organizations. A complete schedule of events is at Keeping the Garden Green.
For further information or to volunteer to help out at the Festival, contact Patti Magruder or Jim Carlson. Come be a church "beyond the walls." Make a difference and donate or volunteer today!
