A flyer (pdf 195 kb) that can be downloaded is for your use in advertising this event in your congregations. You can even take a look at the schedule for the day if you want. We will be having a youth component this year. Upstairs Worship with Kaleb Scharmahorn will be leading this event. Kaleb will be sharing his experience of missions in Brazil. We plan to conclude our time together by a little after 1:00 in the afternoon. Make plans now to attend this time of fellowship!
