Pre-Fair Ministry (October 8-9, 2012)

Fair Ministry (October 10-21, 2012)

It has been said that “mission begins at home.” Although this statement may or may not fully communicate a comprehensive mission strategy, it does remind us that we, as Lexington Baptists, are living in both a mission base and a mission field. The South Carolina State Fair Ministry offers an abundance of mission opportunities right here at home.  The dates for this year’s South Carolina State Fair ministry will be October 10-21, 2012, and the Pre-Fair ministry will be from October 8-9, 2012.

We need over 300 volunteers to respond to the needs of the carnival workers, exhibitors, staff and visitors at this year’s fair.  Please pray about being a volunteer missionary at your own “back door.”

If you would like to volunteer please call David Lee at the Lexington Baptist Association. Please respond immediately to reserve the slot you need because sign-ups are on a first come first serve basis. david@missionlba.org.

This is a great mission’s opportunity right here at home, and it is also a lot of fun.  So please join us! If you have further questions or would like to volunteer please contact Kim Smith by phone or email (mail to: kim@missionlba.org) at the Lexington Baptist Association. Please respond immediately to reserve the slot you need because sign-ups are on a first come first serve basis.

Linked below are the information on the opportunities for ministry related to this annual outreach, which is co-sponsored by the Lexington and Columbia Metro Baptist Associations.  Please look over this information and share it with others in your church.  For your convenience we have also attached a “Bulletin Insert” for your use. You can place your church’s contact information on the bottom of the flyer. 

2012 forms will be available closer to the beginning of summer.
