Sunday, September 29 – Sunday, October 6

By Mike Puckett, Mission Support

You are invited to financially support the Reconciliation Ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) during the coming week. This ministry was given birth at our 1968 International Convention, so its existence now exceeds a half century. 

Here is its vision: It is the vision of Reconciliation Ministry to build just communities by breaking down the walls within our church which separate us. We claim a new reality in which we live into God’s realm by celebrating our unity, affirming the cultural traditions of each member of the body of Christ and working together for justice to ensure radical welcome and access to God’s abundant resources. We envision a church in which all communities are accountable to one another and God.

The mission states: Reconciliation Ministry advances the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)’s journey toward wholeness by empowering each expression of the Church to implement structural change to address historic fractures caused by racism and the systems that perpetuate it. It is the goal of our shared work to foster life-giving community within our church and in relationship with the whole family of God. We accomplish this mission through intentional dialogue, inclusive worship, and experiential education.

Please prayerfully consider this invitation to sacred giving.
