The Union Gospel Mission 2010 Annual Banquet:  Impacting Lives had a new twist from banquets past.  Rather than a keynote speaker, videos and mini-interviews with audience members contributed to a Big Picture view of the breadth and depth of our various ministries, including the perspectives of long-term volunteers and investors, as well as employees, residents and graduates from our programs.  For 59 years, God has been impacting lives through the Union Gospel Mission because of partners like you.  It was great to take a day to celebrate that impact and the reverberations emanating from one changed life.  Over 1,100 people celebrated with us, and $38,000 was raised to help provide meals, shelter and other essential services to the homeless of our community. A special thanks to Poe Asphalt Paving for underwriting the event.  If you’re interested in obtaining a video of the banquet, please contact us at 535-8510.
