Buckets of Blessings Challenge
This year’s mission collection is for the Bishop's Buckets of Blessings Challenge, where we will see which District can contribute the most buckets of cleaning supplies! Also called Home Care Kits, these buckets include liquid household cleaner, dish soap, liquid laundry detergent, and a scrub brush, all in a 5-gallon bucket. Click here for more on how to make MMDC Home Care Kits. For his final Annual Conference as West Ohio's Bishop, let's make sure we shower Bishop Palmer with Buckets of Blessings! Donations can be brought to the Mission Truck at Annual Conference.
