Mission Studies 2018

Embracing Wholeness—presented by Rev. Mary-Lee Lint: Embracing Wholeness explores the ways God has called us to live in covenantal relationship with all of creation and challenges readers to work toward stronger and healthier relationships with creation, their communities, themselves, and God.

What About Our Money? — presented by Sheri Meister: This course explores how we relate to money within the context of our faith. Through this connection between our faith and our money, readers discover how to live closer to God and God’s people, even in our North American culture that is so deeply defined by money. It explores the biblical foundation of abundance which stands in opposition to the scarcity narrative our culture tells us from the time we are very young.

Missionary Conferences of the US — presented by Dawn Armstrong: The aim of the study is to give an overview of the three missionary conferences in The United Methodist Church, the contexts out of which they grew and their current engagements: The Alaska United Methodist Conference, Red Bird Missionary Conference, and the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference are a hybrid of home and international missionary work.
