2022 marks the 25th year that the churches of the West Virginia Conference have participated in Celebration of Mission Events with their cash gifts and tangible goods.

To inform and promote the events, the revised Celebration of Mission Booklet is now available in this edition of the Short Circuit and on the Conference Website. The booklet designates district assignments for projects’ support, a description of the ministries of each project, a “needs list” for each ministry, contact information, instructions for collecting tangible gifts and suggestions for ways to support our mission ministries through the Celebration of Mission Event.

The booklet also contains a remittance form for sending cash gifts to the Conference Treasurer. The booklet can be downloaded and printed in its entirety or page-by-page.

Our Conference Mission Ministries are dependent upon the cash funds and tangible goods received from the Celebration of Mission Event, and readily express their gratitude for the support given them. By their generous response over the past 25 years, and more recently during a pandemic, the churches and individual members of the WV Conference have demonstrated their confidence in the work of our mission ministries and continue to generously support them.

This year, the Celebration of Mission Event will be promoting a “$25 for 25” theme, encouraging all persons who are able to give $25 for the support of the ten mission ministries during 2022. This would be $2.50 per mission.

On behalf of the Conference Mission Ministries, thank you for your continued prayers, gifts and involvement in these vital ministries.
