Going to the Disciples of Christ Conference in July? CWS Needs Your Help with Disaster Relief Kits!

A Message From Church World Services:

Are you driving to the Disciples Conference this summer in Des Moines? If you’ve registered, we have a new way for you to build disaster response into this trip.

You may be familiar with CWS’ Kit ministry, which has helped fuel disaster response for thousands of families this year. Because of that response, we’re incredibly low on supplies like hygiene kits and emergency cleanup buckets. We need all the help we can get to restock before hurricane season bears down – and that’s where you can help.

Will you help restock these supplies by assembling kits? We’re opening a CWS Kit drop-off point at West Des Moines Christian Church during the Conference dates. If you and your congregation choose to assemble kits – you can find assembly instructions here – you can easily drop them off at this location:

Location Details
West Des Moines Christian Church
4501 Mills Civic Parkway
West Des Moines, IA 50265
(515) 223-1639
Contact: Luke Ehrhardt, Luke@wdmcc.org

Let me know if you have questions or if there are other ways your congregation wants to support this ministry.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.“ John 15:1-5 NRSV

Crown Heights Christian Church and First Christian Church (OKC) Join to Support the OKC Marathon on April 28

Have you ever heard of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon? It has been one of the top marathons in the country, and it happens right here in OKC. In fact, the race course runs around Crown Heights Christian Church and First Christian (OKC) Church on Sunday morning, April 28.

The course is so close that neither church is able to hold worship services that Sunday morning. While some might find this as an inconvenience, these two congregations see this wonderful event, with more than 25,000 runners each year, as an opportunity to serve both the city and the runners. Both churches will eat together and worship together on Saturday, April 27 beginning at 6 pm at Crown Heights. Then, on Sunday morning, beginning at 6:30 am, the two churches will meet to cheer on the runners with signs, encouraging words and music on First Christian Church’s property.

Crown Heights even has a church-sponsored marathon relay team in the race. If you’re even remotely interested in finding out more or participating with us, please contact Rev. Aaron Krueger at Crown Heights (405-528-5568) or Rev. John Malget at FCC (OKC) (405-525-6551).

2019 Easter Offering April 14 and April 21

“I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5 NRSV

As Disciples, we all benefit from the fruit, the gifts, of our general ministries. These fruits are made possible only through the connections and support that grow in collaboration with our regions and congregations. This Easter, let us reflect on the transformative ways that we have been impacted by those ministries, and by the fruits of our shared work.

Our general ministries provide other critical resources to Disciples congregations, like stewardship campaign materials, loans and financial services, and space for community building around shared values and traditions.

Our ministries can bear these fruits because of our shared root system. We are rooted in Christ. As one branch of our vine grows, we can share more fruit with more people, from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth.

This Holy Week let us give of our own fruits to tend to the whole. Our ministries grow through your tending, nurturing, and caring. Your gifts to the Easter Offering can transform our shared work.

Please give generously to this year’s Easter Offering.
