The 3rd Mission of the Qtr 2026 (JulylAug/Sept) –Conover School of Conover, NC

Classroom supplies/learning resources for the developmentally challenged students aged pre-school to
21. Students’ parents typically cannot afford necessary personal and educational supplies. MOQ money
would help save the purses of the teachers who buy supplies. Dorcas Society of Concordia, Conover,
enjoys occasionally meeting with and providing support items (clothing, hygiene, markers, etc.) and
snacks for students, staff, and Jet the therapy dog. Conover School faces loss of federal funding so
contributions from the faith community will continue to grow in significance.

The 4th Mission of the Qtr 2026 (Oct/Nov/Dec)—Randolph County-LCMS Mission Church

Adam Cranford is a member of Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Greensboro, NC. He has been pursuing
theological training and is working to be ordained by the end of the year through online studies at
Concordia Theological Seminary - Fort Wayne. During the past few years, he accepted a leadership role
to begin an LCMS Mission Church in Randolph County. There are no other Missouri Synod churches in
Randolph County. At this time, there are plans to set up a website for this new mission church to
grow in membership and to share the Word of the Lord with others. The participants of this Mission
Church want to eventually become an LCMS Church with an official new name. As this mission is less than
two years old, there is great monetary need to accomplish their many goals. The main goal is to
spread the love of Christ in the Randolph County area through the presence of a Missouri Synod church.
Recently they had their first Baptism of a sixteen-year-old, who had been attending this mission church
for several months. The money from the MOQ Grant would benefit this mission church to reach out into
the community to invite others to attend their worship services and participate in other church
activities. By setting up a church website, they will be able to share information with the community
about other events and activities. Thank you for considering the giving of the Mission of the Quarter
Grant to the Randolph County Missouri Lutheran Mission Church.

We continue to pray for our MOQ projects. Thank you for supporting these mission activities as we
seek to be Jesus’ hands and feet to those in need of His love and care!
