TEXAS PARTNERS IN MISSION SUNDAY...September 20 or ???

I hope all pastors have now received and opened the large envelope sent 
last week and that you will post or frame the missionary mosaic picture. 
Your prayers for these fine people will be a blessing. Your partnership 
is appreciated. September 20 is designated as Texas Partners in Mission 
Sunday in the Texas District, but you may wish to celebrate this 
ministry during another worship service. If you would like for me to 
come and make a short presentation during worship and lead a Bible 
study, let me know.
