Conference Articles

Dear Church Family,

This is a reminder of a letter that we sent out to pastors, requesting participation in sponsoring our churches in Ethiopia as part of the 2009 annual missions pledge.

To date, we're still needing to hear from many of our churches and want to remind everyone that we have some tools on our website available for use.

It is our hope and desire that as a church family, we can sponsor each of the Ethiopian District churches. Since there are more FMCSC churches than Ethiopian churches, perhaps there are a couple churches that would be willing to co-sponsor a church in Ethiopia.

• At Annual Conference, pastors received a catalog of our Ethiopian churches with a dollar amount that would support the church on a monthly basis. Please use this tool to help you and your congregation make a decision about what church to sponsor.
  If you have misplaced the catalog you received at Annual Conference, you can print off a copy of the catalog here: http://www.fmcsc.org/default/view/251.
  
• You can see which Ethiopian congregations have already been sponsored by clicking here: http://fmcsc.org/sponsorship.html.*
  
• Pastors can submit their choice of which churches they would like to sponsor or co-sponsor by clicking here: http://fmcsc.org/sponsorship_request.html.*
  
• As an alternative option, pastors can mail in the 2009 Missions Pledge form that they received by post.
