In 1998, Mount Brydges (Ontario) CRC and East and West CRCs in Strathroy, Ontario, celebrated God's work in missions through a collaborative missions emphasis week. The schedule they used to raise mission awareness in their congregation is listed below.
Notice that the churches scheduled at least one activity that would be of interest to each church group. A good combination of low key and highly organized events at different times of the day enabled many people to attend.
