The MonValley District United Methodist Church will hold its annual Celebration of Mission Event (COME) on April 29, 2017 from 10 am until 3:30 pm at the East Fairmont High School.

The annual event features activities for all ages, including: White Elephant Sale, Bake Sale, Silent Auction, Craft Sale, Entertainment, Food Concession, Flower Sale, Kids Karnival, local Missions Education, and a Live Auction starting at 12:30 pm.
