 
MISSION POSSIBLE Leola UMC is truly blessed for the wonderful mission program that was initiated and maintained for over 30 years. The missions supported through this program are in addition to those supported to our giving to the Conference Connectional Ministries. The caring compassion and generous giving of our church members make MISSION POSSIBLE. Thank you for your faithful support. Each month one of these missions is highlighted in our church services either by electronic visuals in the sanctuary and/or personal presentation by a representative from that mission, articles in the bulletin and newsletter and with a bulletin board display. It is our hope that every member becomes aware of the far-reaching impact these missions have in spreading God’s word and sharing the love of Jesus Christ every day.
