April Mission Payments:
Disciples Mission Fund
The Disciples Mission Fund builds a foundation enabling Disciples to globally share
the good news of Jesus Christ. This common fund allows the Disciples to pool
their resources, accomplishing a greater ministry. One congregation could not achieve this alone.
Disciples Mission Fund allows a process of whole-church stewardship, supporting God-given missions
at home and world-wide. They live their theological understanding of Christ's prayer "that they all
may be one." As a faithful growing church, Disciples demonstrate true sense of community, deep
Christian spirituality and a passion for justice (from Disciples Mission Fund website). In addition to
supporting the Disciples Mission Fund as an organization, Midway Christian members also contribute
to the DMF Special Fund Offerings and Special Day Offerings (major Christian holidays).
Camp Wakon’Da-Ho
Camp Wakon' Da-Ho is located in Casey County, Kentucky. Each summer, children
and youth gather from across the state of Kentucky to experience church camp and
to grow in their relationship with God. For many years, Midway Christian has supported Camp
Wakon'Da-Ho by making a financial donation and by sending youth and children to camp.
Please see the back of the calendar for information about donating with GIVLIFY.
Blessing Box at MCC
Thank you for helping
keep the Blessing Box
on our porch stocked
with non-perishable
foods & toiletries for
our neighbors in need.

THANK YOU for designating MCC as your charity of choice when shopping with your Kroger Plus Card or Amazon Smile.
Disciples Mission Fund
Easter Special Offering
This annual offering for the
Disciples Mission Fund goes
to support the many works of
the General Ministries.
“Our ministries can bear fruits
because of our shared root
system. We are rooted in
Christ. Let us give of our own
fruits to tend to the whole.”
Thank You from LTS: “The Lexington Theological Seminary is blessed by your generosity and kind-
ness. We thank you for valuing the work of the Seminary and joining with us in preparing men and women
for service in Christ’s church. When students reflect upon their opportunity to attend LTS, words can’t de-
scribe how enthusiastic and appreciative they are to be in the Seminary’s Master of Divinity program. If they
could speak to you face-to-face, they would thank you for helping make their seminary education possible.
So, on their behalf, thanks for your partnership and gift of $200. Sincerely, Mark Blankenship, Advancement”
