2021 Christmas Special Offering Supports Regional Ministry
In some of our homes, the Christmas tree is already up and fully decorated, and all the presents are bought and wrapped! In other homes, not so much. There is one thing this season inspires: GIVING!
We imagine God’s love revealed when Jesus called disciples to follow him. We imagine God’s love revealed when our region nurtures persons for ministry preparing them for ordination and commissioning.
We imagine God’s love revealed when Jesus drew his disciples into retreat. We imagine God’s love revealed when our region gathers children, youth, and adults in summer camps.
We imagine God’s love revealed when the Apostle Paul cared for congregations and helped them find their leaders. And we imagine God’s love revealed when our region provides care for our pastors, encouragement to lay leaders, and support in transitions.
We imagine God’s love revealed when the early church found ways to break down racial, political, and economic barriers to form true community. We imagine God’s love revealed when our region assists pastors and congregations to honestly confront racism in our own time.
We imagine God’s love revealed when a young couple in Bethlehem, overwhelmed by God’s love, gave birth to one in whom they could see God’s face. We imagine God’s love revealed when we see the face of God in our neighbor, the stranger, and the refugee.
