MISSION FIRST! What is your church doing in the community? We want to know! Email [email protected] a list of your mission efforts, plus one story of a life affected. Share every ministry, with the monthly or yearly numbers that fit it: shawls knitted, quilts made, people served by your food bank or hot meals, number of volunteers or hours or children served in tutoring at-risk children. Stories will be featured one by one, in the Mini-Messenger and the Messenger.

PENTECOST SPECIAL OFFERING The Pentecost Offering supports Disciples new church development. Planning, nurturing and sustaining new congregation is part of the Disciples’ vision. Half of gifts received by a region remain in that region; the balance supports the work of general new church efforts, including training new church planters.
