The Orthodox Christian Mission Center Features - 2006 Mission Coin Box Program

Here’s how it works. On Mission Sunday (March 5, 2006) each Sunday School class learns about missions using grade level appropriate lesson plans provided by the Mission Center.
 
A coin box is also given to each student. Throughout the season of Lent, everyone is encouraged to put their spare change in the coin box. At the end of Lent, the money is collected by the Sunday School teachers and forwarded to the Mission Center. In 2005 over $59,000 was raised by this program and used to spread the Gospel around the world.
 
“Laborers for His Harvest” is the theme this year. The lesson plans are based on Matthew 9:37, which reads: “Then Jesus said to His Disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out workers’.”
 
Talk to the director of your Sunday School Department to see if you are signed up. If not, coin boxes and lesson plans can be ordered directly from the Mission Center by sending an e-mail to coinbox@ocmc.org.
