Missions Day 2008 On Saturday, September 13, we had our second annual Missions Day -- our church family helped The Society of St. Andrews to glean crops (peaches in Fort Mill and tomatoes in China Grove) and Crisis Assistance to sort clothes (some of which went to help hurricane victims). It was a great day!
