190. MissionCast – Youth at the Festival of Sharing

Festival

The Festival of Sharing is held every year on the third Saturday of October, at the Missouri  State Fairgrounds in Sedalia.  This year the MissionCast is highlighting the youth involvement at the Festival of Sharing.  Previous MissionCasts cover all of the activities of the Festival of Sharing.  You can search for other Festival of Sharing MissionCasts by putting the word “festival” in the search window at the bottom of this page.  Most, but not all youth, attending the Festival of Sharing participate in Youthfest which begins with worship Friday night.  Lodging is provided by area church on their floors.  Saturday is a full day of hands on mission service.  For more information about Youthfest or the Festival of Sharing call the Office of Creative Ministries (573-474-7155) and ask for Terri Williams or email her at williams@umocm.com
