MISSOURI DISTRICT NEWS  More than 40 years ago, the Missouri District  established an endowment to provide scholarships for university and seminary students from our state who were preparing for professional church work    vocations.  This school year, that same fund provided aid to 62 students.    Praise God!  As we prepare for our upcoming convention, congregations will    be praying for the proceedings and taking a special offering on June 1 to help strengthen the Missouri District’s scholarship endowment.  Our convention theme—”Bold Hope in Christ”—is a fitting reminder of how we can confidently work together in His kingdom for His glory.  Thank you for your support
