Class room discussion on the Roma of Europe

 

Waiting for the children's camp to preform.

 

Mission U is the new name for School of Christian Mission.

Mission U events are held each summer in almost every conference.

Each Mission u offers classes on a geographic area, social issue and a spiritual growth focus.

This years studies focus on the Roma people, poverty, and living sacramentally, walking justly.

Classes are offered for adults, youth and children.

Studies are on a two-year cycle, Roma people will be offered again next year along

with another new topic.

Books are available year-round, and previous year's studies are also available from our new e-store: www.umwmissionresources.org.

All four of us took the Roma in Europe class, so we have the resources if you would like to borrow them for your circle program.

 

This was a great time, the classes were informative and thought provoking, the food was delicious and plentiful and weather was just awesome!!

 I recommend that you really think about attending next year. There is also sampler held on the Saturday, after the 4 day session, which is a way to participate in Mission U.
