Mission  Nugget 

Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma:  Professor Bacone dreamed of a school, based on Christian principles, for the education of American Indians. The college has retained its Christian heritage, but is not reserved strictly for American Indians. Its Mission Statement calls for meeting the “needs of American Indians in a multicultural setting.” All students, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or religion are welcomed and encouraged to attend Bacone College. Throughout its history, the College as attracted Indian and non-Indian students. Bacone attempts to prepare students to function in the mainstream of society, without losing their culture and heritage. The College has never lost its concern for the individual student. Learning is seen as a way of life that encourages flexibility, breadth of perspective, and respect for the contributions made to the quality of human existence by those of all ages and races.

 

Mission Giving:

On June 1^st, we made a good start towards our One Great Hour of Sharing goal of $700. We received $130. We’ve also collected another 60 cents in Backpack pennies. In addition, $895.50 was contributed for our Budget. Thank you very much for your generosity.

This mourning process after trauma will be explored in this bereavement program led by Rev. Sandi Perl.
