MISSIONS
   
 
 

The Gearhartville Free Methodist Church actively supports Free Methodist World Missions with its Annual Missionary Conference, monthly missions offerings and most importantly the Ladies Missionary Fellowship.

The Ladies Missionary Fellowship meets the first Thursday evening of each month at the Fellowship Hall at 7 PM. At the meetings the ladies have missionary devotional time, pray for the missionary requests and work on projects for missions (both foreign and local).

 

Some of the mission projects include:

1. Collect Campbell soup labels for the East Los Angeles Light & Life Christian School to buy audio-visual, athletic and computer equipment.

2. Collect used stamps for special ministries. Last year alone, $32,000 was given to Latin American Sunday School Curriculum Project from all participating churches.

3. Collect Betty Crocker points and education labels to give them to local schools.
