Thank You for Your Support at Mission Central!

Thank You for Your Support!

As a monumental year comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to thank all the Susquehanna Conference United Methodist Church churches for your support throughout 2020! We recognize that 2020 brought many challenges and we are incredibly grateful for the support that has been shown to Mission Central. 

Every item, every prayer, every dollar and every shared gift has assisted us in fulfilling our mission of ‘connecting God’s resources with human need.’  We are thankful for each of you and appreciate you sharing your gifts with us. 

As we look ahead, we want to make sure you “Save the Dates” for a few Mission Central events of 2021:

  • Mission Central online auction: March 4-7
  • Mission Central (Virtual) Monster Mash and Dash: October 24-31
  • Mission Central Gala: November 13

If you have the opportunity, please follow us on Facebook and subscribe to our MissionLink (a weekly eNewsletter). 

We wish you a happy new year filled with many blessings. Thank you for everything you do for Mission Central! 


Baskets for Mission Central Fundraising in 2021! 

In 2021, Mission Central will be hosting two events - an online auction and our annual Gala. These events raise a significant percentage of our operating revenue each year, and we have always been grateful for UMC support! 

This year, we will be hosting a silent auction for themed baskets at both events and would love your support! Baskets can be put together completely or you can send materials for a basket to be made here at Mission Central. You can even send some basket materials (to go with others to make a basket.) 

Here are a few basket ideas but please feel free to create your own! 

  • Family Game Night - games, movie gift cards, popcorn
  • Coffee and Tea - mugs, coffee, tea, spoons
  • Chocolate Basket - all things chocolate
  • Kid’s Favorite Library (great for adults too!) 
  • Hot Off the Grill - marinades, skewers, grill supplies 

This is a great activity to be put together by your business, work group, kids of all ages, church youth, confirmation classes, UMW or any group of family/friends AND a great way to support Mission Central! These baskets will be auctioned off at either our online auction or our Gala. The baskets/basket materials are due February 1, 2021.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Titzel by phone at 717-766-1533 or email stitzel@missioncentral.org. 

Thank you in advance for any consideration that you can give these requests. We are looking forward to lots of fun in 2021!
