We Are One - Please give to the One Great Hour of Sharing

 

Mission  Nugget:  Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma:

Bacone’s campus contains many reminders of its history, tradition, and goals. One of these is a small cemetery, the final resting place of Bacone President Almon C. Bacone (1880-1896) and Benjamin D. Weeks (1918-1941), as well as others associated with the school over the years. Another reminder on the west side of the campus proper is a stone pulpit that marks the spot on which Predisent Bacone and two Baptist missionaries who were also trustees of Indian University, Joseph Samuel Murrow and Daniel Rogers, knelt in prayer to dedicate to the Christian education of American Indians the 160 acres of land received from the Creek Indians. Today the College offers an opportunity for reflection upon how students and faculty of all races and ethnic backgrounds, can live, study, work and worship together in order to strive not only for a meaningful educational experience, but for a society committed to Christian values and principles.

 

Mission Giving:

On June 8^th you contributed another $55 for the One Great Hour of Sharing. The total is now $185 towards our $700 goal. You also gave $159 towards our Budget. Thank you for your generosity.

As long as you ever can.
