“Mission Moments” Videos as seen at the District Convention

The 2018 Mid-South District Convention featured three “Mission Moments” videos highlighting the outreach and community engagement efforts of many ministries across the District. The three videos are available to view and download on the Mid-South District’s Vimeo channel. The videos are a great way to celebrate and encourage outreach in your congregation. Many thanks are extended to those who submitted their congregation’s outreach activities for the videos.
