Chain Reaction Ministries is known for distributing free refurbished bicycles as the premise of their ministry, which provides transportation to the homeless and others in need of a mode of transportation.
Chain Reaction has been challenged to a matching grant of up to $1,000! The match must take place by October 16, 2016! If you are able, please consider donating so Chain Reaction can purchase tubes, tires, and other spare parts for the bikes they refurbish.
They are also in desperate need of adult bicycles! Please consider a donation of a bicycle or money to help provide adult bicycles to those who need transportation!
Contact Larry Batten or First Christian Church 405.525.6551 for information on how to donate. Every little bit helps!

Rev. Seung Un (Paul) Tche, President of The Council on Christian Unity, invites congregations to offer space for prayer and worship on Election Eve and or on Election Day.
The Council on Christian Unity of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) believes that Christians still can get together at the places of prayer as one body of Christ no matter what kind of political opinions we hold as citizens. In order to help you organize an ecumenical prayer service for election eve/day, Rev. Kara Markell, Lake Washington Christian Church, Kirkland, WA, has created a liturgy for an Ecumenical Prayer Service for Election Eve/Day.

One of the continuing conversations in our country is about civil rights and the racial tensions in our community. Inspired by some of the table conversations from this summer’s roundtables at First Christian Church of Edmond, the Adult Education Team has put together a trip to explore some of the events of this tension – connecting the past to the present.
The adult spring break trip will leave Edmond on Sunday March 12, after church, and return Thursday evening, March 16. The stops will include Memphis, Birmingham, Montgomery, Jackson, and Dallas.
The cost of this trip, including hotel, will be $700. Meal costs are not included.
If you would like to sign up, please go to www.fccedmond.org/register
The registration and initial deposit of $100 is due by November 7.
First Christian Church Pawnee was at the epicenter of a 5.8 magnitude temblor that struck Pawnee on September 3, 2016, now documented as the state’s strongest earthquake on record.
Regional Minister Pam Holt and Rev. Mary Hughes Gaudreau, director of Emotional and Spiritual Care for the Oklahoma Conference of Churches, visited Pawnee last week. As they drove into the small community there were very few visible signs of damage. But as they toured First Christian Church Pawnee with pastor Robert Smith they quickly saw significant damage to the building.
Pastor Smith is working with the congregation’s insurance company and structural engineers to investigate and assess the extent of the damage from the earthquake. Fortunately the congregation is still able to worship in the facility.
We ask you please keep this congregation and the community in your prayers as they determine the next steps.

Mission work is local and global. And maybe, it’s not so much mission as much as helping a neighbor in need. Disciples are known for lending a hand in our local communities and in far off places too.
