We have three wonderful mission studies this year:

Spiritual Growth Study: Music and Mission
Geographic Study: Israel / Palestine
General Issue Study: Globalization: Its Impact in Our Lives

The School Committee and our team of study leaders have been busy making plans for another great school. The School of Christian Mission is a special opportunity to participate in Bible study and studies about other countries and issues, fellowship with United Methodist Women from across our conference, and learn more about the total program of mission that is United Methodist Women. In a United Methodist News Service commentary last year...one minister described Schools of Christian Mission as some of best lay faith education being offered anywhere in the church. Join us! It can be a life changing experience.

There are several ways you can participate...we have opportunities to accommodate any schedule:

1. Participate as a full time resident student....experience the entire school, and live on campus at Greensboro College. The cost for full time resident students is $125.00. Housing and meals are included in the registration fee.

2. Participate as a full time non-resident day student...experience the entire school, but commute daily to the campus. The cost for full time non-resident day students is $35.00. No meals are included in the registration fee.

3. Participate in one of the One-Day Overview sessions...on either Friday (July 13th) or Saturday (July 14th). One-Day Overview students can participate in the events of the day they attend, including the Spiritual Growth Study session, and they attend special overview classes on both Israel / Palestine and Music & Mission. The cost for one-day overview students is $15.00.

4. NEW in 2007! Youth Mission Day for Teen Women...on Saturday, July 14th.
