Every 15th of the month, Community Christian Church in Camdenton does something mission-oriented. They have found that more people can participate with this scheduling, as opposed to something like every first Monday, since the 15th falls on a different day of the week each month.

For April, they commemorated the start of baseball season by playing wiffle ball for mission! They also talked/learned about nine of their mission partners - one for each inning! Each player/spectator was invited to bring $1 (or more!) to vote for their favorite partner, and the winning organization received not only their vote money, but a $150 bonus donation from the congregation.

Twelve people of all abilities and ages participated and had a wonderful time playing and learning. A total of $173 was raised at the event and will be distributed, with some additional congregational funds, to each of the organizations. LAMB House Food Pantry and Thrift Store received the most votes! Learn more about each of the featured agencies on their websites.
