Six Weeks of Compassion – July 30th – September 3rd

The Relief and Development Ministry of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ is Week of Compassion.  July 30, 2017 through September 3, 2017 we are celebrating the “Six Weeks of Compassion”.

Week of Compassion (WoC) is the relief, refugee and development mission fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. We seek to equip and empower disciples to alleviate the suffering of others through disaster response, humanitarian aid, sustainable development and the promotion of mission opportunities.

The WoC offering reaches those near and far, sometimes changing the life of someone in distress in your own congregation or community, and at other times impacting the lives of those we may never meet but who are in desperate need of our compassion and generosity. God provides the gifts and resources so that we can give back. It’s not the size of the gift that matters; it’s that we give of what we have.

In 2016, as part of our WoC giving, we partnered with Church World Service to provide Hygiene Kits.  Click here to see how our kits collected from our congregation and other congregations were distributed around the world: http://cwskits.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/CWS-Kits-and-Blankets-report-2016.pdf
